JASON LEONARD CUP FINAL
UNDER 20 COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
SUNDAY 6TH MAY TWICKENHAM STADIUM 5 PM
YORKSHIRE V CORNWALL
As expected Cornwall have stuck to the tried and tested ahead of Sunday’s tea-time showdown against Yorkshire.
A positional change in the front-row sees Redruth’s Jack Hodge move to loose-head, with the versatile Ollie Andrews moving to tight-head from No.8.
Skipper Torin Clarke reverts to playing No.8 also in the back row, Quinn Cross starts at open-side with Will Gibson switching to blindside.

So what of Yorkshire, well as you would expect from the reigning champions who have won the title three times on the bounce and indeed ten times in the last seventeen years, they are a very good well-drilled squad coached by Anthony Posa, who was in charge when Yorkshire won the semi-final at Camborne three years ago 63-3, and will start as favourites on Sunday.
Cornwall won’t mind that at all, they will go up there and give it their best shot and see what that brings.
All we can do is wish our lads the best, we know they will do the shirt proud.
