"Fair play is beautiful play." This is an old saying, suitable for every game. More than that, it is true for everything in our lives. The saying is old and Cornish Wrestling is old, but how old is wrestling in Cornwall? Perhaps, it is as old as Cornwall. According to Geoffrey of Monmouth (12th century),Corineus wrestled with Gogmagog, and threw the giant from a cliff. In the year 1520 King Henry VIII (England) and King Francis (France) met to negotiate peace, on the Field of the Cloth of Gold. Which king was the most impressive? Henry brought wrestlers from Cornwall and Francis brought wrestlers from Brittany. Who won? In 1654 Oliver Cromwell watched a hundred Cornishmen wrestling in Hyde Park in London.
