Cornwall RFU Under-20s County Championship campaign gets under way this Sunday with their first fixture in the Jason Leonard Cup against Devon at Plymouth Albion (2pm).

Cornwall, who won the championship last year, have named Truro’s Joss Pascoe as captain for the season, alongside him is another player from last season, Penryn’s Freddie Trewin, who is vice-captain.

In their second pool game Cornwall will face Gloucestershire at Camborne on Sunday, April 9 and the third game sees Somerset visit Camborne on Sunday April 23. Both are 2pm kick-offs.

Cornwall have maintained the same coaching set as last season with Tyler Gendall, Brad Howe coaching the forwards and Richie Kevern coaching the backs.

Captain Pascoe said: “It is an honour to be asked to captain the side for this season. I know the guys are up for a tough campaign as always and have trained well in preparation for this game. 

“This is my second season with the 20s and I know that it is a tough competition, and we will have to perform at our best in every game. 

“We have had great numbers at training, and I know some guys will be disappointed not to be in the team, but this is a squad for the season so keep pushing us for those places, nobody’s shirt is fixed. 

“For those who will run out with me on the 19th, we have a big task ahead of us but I’m confident in our ability.”
