Pre-Season 2019
Posted by Stuart Richardson on 4 June 2019
With the 2018-19 season all but over, Duchy are already focussed on the 2019-20 campaign, starting with a packed pre-season programme.
Pre-Season will begin in late-August, with Men's, Women's and Mixed Club XIs heading to Plymouth for a round of warm-up matches against Devonport Services; followed a week later by a trip to Isca for the Men's 1s and matches against Penzance for the Women's 1s & 2s and Men's 2s and 3s.
The first weekend in September sees a round of local derbies, with all three Men's teams and the Women's 2s facing their opposite numbers from Truro HC, whilst the Women's 1s meet Premiership side Falmouth.
The weekend of 13th-15th September will be one of the busiest of the year; with a Friday night fixture away to Taunton Vale for the Mens 1s, Saturday fixtures against Bodmin for the Men's 2s and 3s plus the Cornwall Pre-Season Tournament for the Women's 1s and 2s; followed by Sunday action for a Club XI in the Men's Cornwall Tournament.
Pre-Season will culminate with a full round of fixtures v Caradon HC on Saturday 21st September with the five senior Duchy teams meeting their opposite numbers from Caradon.
Fixture details will be added to the team pages of the website in due course.
