This Saturday, Charlton Park host Kent vs Cornwall in round 2 of the 2023-24 Bill Beaumont County Championship. Following Kent’s nail biting 32-30 win over Hampshire and Cornwall’s resounding 55-0 rout of Surrey, some are saying this is the decider to determine who heads to Twickenham for finals day on 15 June. Kent are reigning champions following the win over Lancashire last season. So they will be absolutely determined to ensure they progress in this year’s competition and keep hold of the crown.

We are expecting guests from all corners of the county and from the west country. Not to mention the many London based Cornishmen. If you are attending, we hope you find the following information helpful.
