Hi everybody! My name is Delilah Talbot and i have been offered an incredible opportunity to take part in the Portugal Rugby Youth Festival in March 2026 with Truro College. This is one of the biggest youth rugby tournaments in Europe, with 17 different countries competing, bringing squads from as far as New Zealand and Canada! This tour means the world to me - it's a chance to be challenged against international teams, learn from top coaches and grow both on and off the field. Moreover, it's the first time an u18s women's team would have represented Truro college on tour, this shows the huge amount of progression the girls elite academy has achieved since it was only began its journey a year and a half ago!

To make this dream become a reality, i'm raising funds waitressing in the local pub to help cover travel, accommodation, and tournament costs. However, since the tour has only recently been confirmed I won't have enough time to raise enough to cover the trip. I'm asking for contribution, to help bridge the gap. Any amount, large or small, will go directly towards helping me represent my club, county and college. Rugby has taught me vital skills such as teamwork, resilience and discipline- and with your support, I can showcase these values out there on the field!
