Message from new TASC Honorary Secretary Luke Callingham

It is with great pride and pleasure that I am able to announce that I will be taking on the role
of Honorary Secretary of Trelawny’s Army, with my mum Emma Callingham joining me as
Assistant Honorary Secretary

Having followed Cornish rugby for many years, both at local level and through the Cornwall
County side, it is a real honour to now become more actively involved with such a
dedicated and passionate supporters’ club.

Trelawny’s Army represents the tremendous pride, passion and support that exists for
Cornish rugby, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to the club and help
support its continued development.

My mum and I are both very much looking forward to working alongside the committee,
members and fellow supporters

We are extremely proud to be part of Trelawny’s Army and look forward to the exciting times
ahead, supporting Cornwall and celebrating everything that makes Cornish rugby so
special.

Trelawny’s Army Supporters Club gathered at the St Austell Brewery Visitor Centre on Wednesday (23 September 2026) for the Club’s Annual General Meeting and Player of the Year Presentation Evening, celebrating a memorable season that saw both the Cornwall men’s and women’s sides reach Twickenham.

On the Club front, long-serving media officer Bill Hooper stepped down and was made a life member of Trelawny’s Army in recognition of his years of service – and capped the evening by being part of the presentation party for two of the three big awards.

Herbie Stupple (Camborne) was named men’s player of the year, collecting the Bill Osborne Trophy from Bill Hooper, men’s head coach Graham Dawe (pictured), Nigel Hocking and Sean Jarvis, after a stand-out campaign up front as Cornwall won Division One at Twickenham for the first time since 2022.

Abby Smith (Ivybridge) was handed the Jess Humber Shield as women’s player of the year, presented by Karen Bunt, women’s head coach Jo Holden (pictured), Barbara Hocking and Sean Jarvis following a try-scoring season that helped Cornwall Women win promotion to Division One with victory over Durham at Twickenham.

Riley Raikes (St Austell) took the Tony Mead Memorial Trophy for Under 20s player of the year, presented by Marina Trevarton, Bill Hooper (pictured), John Rees and Sean Jarvis, after an impressive season in the front row.

Congratulations to all three award winners, and of course to Bill on a life membership thoroughly earned after his years of service to the Club.

With thanks to David Sillifant and the Voice for their report on the evening.

Our Annual General Meeting & Player of the Year presentations will take place on Wednesday 23rd September at St. Austell Brewery Visitor Centre, 7 pm.

There are vacancies on the committee, nominations can be made on the night or prior to Phil Trevarton.
