Jack Nowell, eldest son of skipper Michael Nowell of the beam trawler Elizabeth N has been selected to play for the England Under 18 rugby team. Jack now has a chance to emulate Penzance & Newlyn's greatest England rugby cap in the shape of Brian 'Stack' Stevens who played for the 'Pirates' back in the '60s and '70s. Stack Stevens was capped 25 times for England and toured with the Lions - so the rising young star has something pretty big to aim for!
Jack is currently studying at Truro & Penwith College with their rugby academy and is looking sponsorship from local businesses or individuals keen to see proper Cornish blood back in the England team in the future. For more information and bio details see Jack Nowell's story.
