However you phrase it this is Cornish rugby's biggest rivalry.

Redruth v Camborne in the Rodda's Cup
Kick-off 2pm

Redruth are delighted to welcome Camborne to the Recreation Ground, the most famous ground in Cornish rugby, on Boxing Day in the latest round of a rivalry which has lasted 134 years, making the game the world's longest continuous rugby fixture.
Christmas wouldn't be the same without the Reds taking on the Cherry & Whites in this traditional festive clash that means so much to both sets of players and supporters.
As usual the faithful supporters of each side will be taking up their regular spots, the Reds in Hellfire Corner and the Town supporters at, of course, the Camborne End.

The annual Boxing Day encounter between two of the oldest and most famous of Cornish clubs, fortunately, has not lost any impact in the rugby calendar. Despite the considerable challenges of being successful in league rugby the importance of this annual Boxing Day match with all its history, tradition and passion endures.

The extra incentive these days is the fact that we compete for the Rodda’s Milk Cup and both clubs are indebted to Rodda's, a high profile local company, for kindly sponsoring the match.

Happy Christmas to Players, Officials and Supporters of both clubs.
