Cornwall have agreed new deals for the 2025 season with Malta forward Kaine Dimach and prop Chris Bannister.

Dimach, 29 first moved to the Choughs in January 2023 and has played 33 times for the club in his two full seasons.

Bannister will begin a second campaign at Penryn having seen his first season disrupted by injury.

"I'm made up that he'll be with us again, the issues he had with injuries, hopefully this year he'll get a run of games in," head coach Mike Abbott said of Bannister to the club website.

"Kaine will become a Cornwall great," added new owner Ken Stone. "I have seen him develop into a very robust player being able to cover most positions.

"Sometimes this can stunt a players ability to nail down his trade whoever his agile nature has only enhanced his potential."
