“Moving to Cornwall makes it a truly national sport.” “We’re permanently re-locating back to England,” Perez told the PA news agency. With no end to the pandemic in sight, Perez has opted to start up the club in England and insists the move to Cornwall is part of a long-term strategy with the aim of becoming a major tourist attraction and eventually winning Super League. Perez bought former League 1 club Hemel and secured permission to move it to the Canadian capital with a view to entering League 1 in 2021 but was thwarted by the arrival of Covid-19. The bold initiative, which has received the backing of the Rugby Football League, is the work of Canadian Eric Perez, the man who launched Toronto Wolfpack in 2017 and planned to follow it up with the introduction of a second club from Ontario, Ottawa Aces.
Rugby league has broken new ground by launching a professional club in Cornwall.Ĭornwall RLFC have made a daring raid into one of rugby union’s strongholds in becoming the 11th team for Betfred League 1, the third tier of the professional game in the UK which is due to kick off in March.
