Wadebridge Camels were formed in 1955 and played their home games at Bodieve on the outskirts of Wadebridge next to the town's football pitch.
In the 80's the club moved to a new ground at Egloshayle called the Molesworth Field. This was on land originally reclaimed from the marshes of the River Camel which runs alongside the ground and from which the team get their name.

The First team were promoted from Cornwall 1. League at the end of the 2000/1 season and now the clubs colours of Chocolate and Gold can be seen playing in the Cornwall & Devon League.
Camels also won the Cornwall Clubs knockout Cup for 2000/1 after beating Mounts Bay in the final at Redruth.

Wadebridge is a busy yet friendly market town situated on either
bank of the River Camel and joined by a fifteenth century bridge which used
to carry the A39 trunk road through the main street of the town. 
This has now been routed via a new by-pass and bridge just downstream of the town and has created many pedestrian areas and open spaces for people to enjoy.

One of the earliest passenger railways in England ran from Bodmin
and was extended through Wadebridge to Padstow, a bustling port 5
miles downstream. This railway was closed in 1968 and the old track has become
one of the County's foremost tourist attractions namely the Camel Trail which
boasts one of the best walking and cycling routes in the UK.

The North Cornwall coast is well known for its Surfing and people come from all over the World to enjoy our sandy beaches and super surf. The Camels would welcome any rugby playing surfers from across the globe to come and spend a season or two with us. Don't forget we are only 5 miles from some of the finest surf around.
