We hope you enjoy browsing...and if you're local, and you play footy, why not turn up to training. You never know, you could be our next Redruth Utd player profile! Or bring your lady along and get her to fill in our Redruth Utd footballer's WAGs questionnaire. Alternatively, you've seen Team Mates on Soccer AM - want to get involved with the Cornish version? We've got that as well.
Redruth United club website was set up in June 2000 - keep checking for further updates & improvements.
Happy surfing, and to quote the great Bill Shankly (yes I am a lifelong Liverpool supporter!!): "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death.
I'm very disappointed with that attitude.
I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

Darren presents cheque to The Sunrise Appeal
Darren Lewarne, Redruth United’s 1st team player/manager, has helped to raise funds to support Treliske Hospital’s Sunrise Centre. The clinical oncology unit at Treliske was opened in 2002 and the Sunrise Appeal has now raised in excess of £2.3m. The aim of the Sunrise Centre is to deliver cancer treatments to the highest possible standards for their patients in Cornwall.
Darren explained: “Having had two of our players diagnosed with cancer (both successfully treated), and one – Steve Hick – having been very well supported by The Sunrise Centre throughout his treatment, I wanted to show the club’s support for a very worthy cause.”
Darren undertook a parachute jump at Perranporth airfield and recently presented a cheque from money raised by his players to Linda Thorpe, Radiographer, at Treliske’s Sunrise Centre.
