Lankelly Fowey Rugby Club

It's safe to say the boys fully enjoyed their time in Sable d’Olonne!
Thank you to Rugby Club Sablais officiel for your hospitality and for the game, what an experience!
I am sure there will be knowing smiles and glances going forward, and rest assured, it will not be another 20 years for the next tour!

When the Tour Turns to Memories

We polished off rosé as the sun dipped low,
Laughing at stories only tour lads know.
Bush jumping heroes with scratches to show.

Rugby by day, mischief by night,
Scrums in the sand, hearts full and light.
Cornish voices rolling across the bay,
Turning strangers to brothers along the way.

Bottles clinked, friendships linked,
Moments gone fast, quicker than you’d think.
From ferry decks to the French coastline,
We built memories that only grow finer with time.

And now as we head for home once more,
With tired legs and spirits sore,
We’ll say it proudly, come what may Lankelly made France our own this day.

Today the brave men of Lankelly Fowey RFC set sail for Sables d’Olonne!

From castle to coastline, Cornish pride travels across the Channel.

The ship’s ready, the flags are flying — let the adventure begin! 💪🌊

Passports ready, Euros in the pocket, and beers are on ice

Thank you so much to and the team at for turning around a few last-minute tour items for our Tour tomorrow. It's fantastic working with a team that is as passionate about our club as we are. Thanks again for your support throughout this process. 🔵⚪🔵⚪

Twas the night before the tour, and all through the club, Not a tour virgin was stirring, nor even a vet.

The jerseys were folded, the passports all found, while whispers of rosé and scrums went around.

The kit bags were packed with care and precision, hoping the French coast would soon come into vision.

The lads were all nestled, their dreams full of tries, while visions of Sables d’Olonne danced in their eyes.

When out on the pitch there arose such a great clatter, they sprang from their bunks to see what was the matter.

Away to the window they flew like a flash, tripped over a tackle bag and made quite the crash.

The moon on the castle and the sea’s gentle foam, cast a glow on the pride of their Cornish home.

When what to their wondering eyes should appear, but a minibus ready — and crates full of beer!

With a driver so lively, jolly, and quick, they knew in a moment this wasn’t a trick.

More rapid than seagulls his calls all came, he whistled and shouted and called them by name:

“Now Prop! Now Hooker! Now Lock and Flanker! On Scrum-half! On Winger! On Fly-half and Tour Manager!”

To the ferry we go, to the Channel we dash! now load up the kit — and don’t forget your cash!

So off they all went, with laughter and song, the spirit of Lankelly forever strong.

And I heard them exclaim as they rolled out of sight, “To France we set sail.”

All members are given notice of the club's Annual General Meeting being held on Thursday, the 18 June at the Lankelly Fowey RFC.

Whether you’ve been involved for years or are new to Lankelly Fowey, your input matters. As a community club, your voice genuinely shapes the club's direction.

🔵⚪🔵⚪

Two days till we trade the Cornish coast for the French coastline.
Scrums, sunsets, and a whole lot of Lankelly mischief incoming.

Four days till the Lankelly Men set sail! ⚓️
Boots polished, passports found (we hope), and spirits high.
Sables d’Olonne… brace yourself
