Our Christmas wish has been answered, the mighty Gurnards are back!

A local Boxing Day derby vs St Ives.

Free entry and lots of fun to be had!

We’re so disappointed to say that Hayle have called off the Boxing Day game this year BUT when one door closes an even better one opens!
The return of a true derby day!
The Hakes will now face The Gurnards in what will be a great day for the club and real good fun!
We can’t wait to see you all there to enjoy a post Christmas drink with a lot of Hakes!
Free Entry, every one welcome! Please share and spread the word!

And that’s a wrap on our season finishing with a 100% win record.

We lift this years Fiona Bruce Community Shield.

St Ives 7 - Hellesveor 24

Great day, great rugby, great beer.

Unfortunately have had to call it early on our season due to half the lads forming a dance troupe for this years Britain’s Got Talent.

Maybe we’ll play another game in 3 years time.

Live, laugh, love, Gin lol

It’s game day!

The match is on. Get upto St Ives RFC and support the lads. It’s going to be helluva a day. Local rugby at its finest.

Gurnard’s Head

From Gurnard’s Head I stare
at a flawless day: the blues
of swirling azure, the deep
shades of a lapis sea.

I know this place – all
of its below, its beyond
– the ways it pivots.
I feel/fear nothing.

These granite rocks
are the gate-keepers
to the falling, the flying,
where I am left to float.

Tomorrow’s tummy tickler

The Hakes Vs The Gurnards

Hook, line and sink. Who’s gonna be hauled aboard and who’s going to sink. 3 sets of brothers and 15 cousins in this side.

Just a reminder to all supporters who are travelling for tomorrows away match, any violence towards the Scaley Backs will not be acceptable.

Game on!

Hellesveor RFC ‘The Gurnards’ Vs Hakes - St Ives RFC

Saturday 17th December at St Ives RFC. 1430 Kick Off.

Finally, after a long two years our doping ban is up and the team can return to playing matches. As a club we will continue our innocence and will stand by our statement. We were convinced the substance Clive ‘Chipper’ Tomkin sold us was baking powder and we have apologised numerous times to attendees of Hellesveor Youth Choir charity cake sale.

Back to the rugby. What a weekend for the club as we face local rival St Ives for a new trophy, this the first time the sides will battle for the ‘Fiona Bruce Community Shield’. Kindly donated by club sponsors Breakwater Decorating.

Unfortunately Hellesveor RFC’s former head of nutrition, Liam ‘Turncoat’ Trudgeon is playing for St Ives in this fixture. It was a mutual parting but Liam, please, we want our Nigella Cookbooks back with clean pages this time.

Team announcements tomorrow, lots of local faces retuning.

St Ives RFC have their annual Christmas jumper party after the match which we’ll be staying for.

Hellesveor RFC dinner and dance 1988

Two of the boys getting ready for tonight’s dinner and dance. We’ve decided to date it 1988 instead of 2022 as that’s where most of our supporters are stuck.

Up the Gurnards.

Return to training.

Thanks to the RFU moving to Phase C on the return to rugby framework we were able to welcome our players back to the club training facilities based in the quite suburbs of Trewartha.

This has meant 10 V 10 touch rugby can return, unfortunately we didn’t have enough players turn up to training to allow this to happen, which is very unfortunate as we are preparing for our first friendly Vs Sancreed 2’s when restrictions allow.

**Can all players make very effort to attend, we understand some aren’t allowed due to the training pitch being in a play park but that’s only 4-5 of you.**

*Notice to all players*
Due to our head nutritionist Liam Trudgeon becoming unavalible we will not be able to offer our full prepared menu after training sessions. We apologise for this inconvenience.

Liam hasn’t surfaced after going for his 4th ‘eat out to help out’ meal of the day. He was last seen outside the ferrets shaking his head, probably due to his heart being split in half. On one side the Three Ferrets is no more, on the other side it’s going to be a curry house. Catch 22.

See you all training Wednesday.
