Hellfire Awaits: 150 years of Redruth RFC is a tale of mud and blood and frequent outbreaks of violence. It’s the story of a rugby club founded in a tough and grimy mining town where the game provided a welcome outlet from the trials and tribulations of daily life. Far removed, both geographically and culturally from the public school version of the game, Cornish rugby developed an uncompromising style of its own fuelled in part by the traditional and often bitter rivalries that existed between Cornish towns. Redruth went on to become Cornwall’s champion club carving out a reputation for itself wherever rugby is played. A book that will appeal not just to the rugby enthusiast but to anyone with an interest in the important contribution sport can make to our social history.
