A few years ago, a few of us in Wigan were invited to a wedding of a former Wigan resident in Teignmouth. On the Friday night prior to the wedding which was on the following day, we visted a local pub in the evening and to our amazement found Wigan v St Helens on the telvision and along with locals we watched the game. The following night we were at the Teignmouth Rugby Union club where the evening reception of the wedding was being held. I got talking to the club President while another league game was on the television in the games room being watched by members of the club. In the course of the conversation, he told me that the members loved watching Rugby League and each year, they had two trips to London, one to Twickenham for a England Union game and the other to Wembley for the Challenge Cup Final.

On the wall of the Teignmouth club games room was a picture of Jim Fallon who prior to being signed from Bath by Leeds Rhinos was a member of the club.

Apparently, Rugby League is well liked in Cornwall and might explain the emergence of the new Cornwall Rugby League Club who shortly will being moving to a new Stadium in Truro.

The very best of luck to them!
