Rugby
Jethro played over 100 games for the Pirates rugby team, now better known as the Cornish Pirates. His rugby interest was nurtured at Cape Cornwall School (a then primitive rugby academy in the far west of Cornwall) under the guidance of Derek Small who helped produce other famous Pirate characters such as Colin 'Dumbo' Dymond and Graham 'Granite' Waters. He played in St Just’s first-ever match back in 1967 and then in 1970 had his first spell with the Pirates. Jethro played his 100th match for the Pirates in 1974-75. Jethro played rugby for Penzance and Newlyn Senior first team for 10 years from 1967 to 1977 as prop forward. One of Jethro's teammates at the time was Brian 'Stack' Stevens who went on to become one of English rugby’s most famous players.
