The west Cornwall club won the National Two West title in April , clinching the league by 10 points just three years after they won promotion from the fourth tier. On Saturday, they open their National One campaign more than 380 miles (611km) away at Leeds Tykes. Sporting director Ricky Pellow said he could "feel the buzz" around everything the club was achieving, saying it was for "the whole of Cornwall". "We've got a hell of a journey ahead of us, not just up to Leeds but for the whole season, and that's really exciting," Pellow said. The 48-year-old joined the club on a part-time basis in January , months after departing Exeter Chiefs as their skills coach. \n \n Camborne won the National Two West title in April by 10 points [BBC] \n Pellow described wanting to set out a united vision for the club, its town, and the county. "You have been able to feel and see that over the summer with how much is going on at the club," he added. "We've had a tournament, charity fundraisers and a friendly against the Cornish Pirates." He said the club seemed to be growing "week to week" in every department, including in the women's game and junior sides. "It's not just about Camborne, it's about west Cornwall, it's about the whole of Cornwall," Pellow added. "Whenever we played Cornish Pirates it's a battle and we're tribal, but obviously when we're playing as a team from Cornwall we want the whole county to be behind us. "You can feel the buzz around everything that we're doing, and Pirates are doing as well, and all local rugby." \n Related internet links\n \n Cornwall RFU \n
