Veor RFC

With the advent of the league rugby union in 1987 Veor were placed in Cornwall 2 – a basement league ranked at level 10 of the English rugby union system – which they promptly won in their first season. This early success was replicated the next season when they won the Cornwall Clubs Cup (then known as the Knockout Plate) for the first time in their history. During the 1990s the club continued to build, achieving another promotion to reach the Cornwall/Devon League. Although they managed to remain at level 8 for several more year, Veor had to withdraw from Cornwall/Devon during the 1998-99 season, and were automatically relegated two levels down to Cornwall 2.

After struggling in Cornwall 2 at the start of the 21st century, Veor has started to move up the leagues once more, returning to the Cornwall/Devon League several times but being able to remain at level 8 for longer than a season on each occasion. In 2014–15 Veor were second in Tribute Cornwall 1, an English level nine league in the England rugby union structure. They played the runner-up from Tribute Devon 1 for a place in Tribute Cornwall/Devon League.{{cite web|title=Fixtures and Results - Tribute Cornwall 1|url=http://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/competitions/south-west-division/2014-2015/group/18315|website=England Rugby|publisher=RFU|access-date=23 March 2015}} By the end of the season, Veor won the CRFU Cornwall Clubs Cup for the third time in their history beating local rivals Lanner 10 – 7 in the final held at St Clement's in Truro.{{cite web |url=http://www.westbriton.co.uk/Veor-edge-Lanner-lift-Cornwall-Clubs-Cup/story-26439430-detail/story.html |title=Veor edge out Lanner to lift Cornwall Clubs' Cup |publisher=West Briton |date=4 May 2015 |access-date=10 February 2016 |archive-date=14 August 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150814190544/http://www.westbriton.co.uk/Veor-edge-Lanner-lift-Cornwall-Clubs-Cup/story-26439430-detail/story.html |url-status=dead }}

After five seasons in Cornwall 1, Veor won the 2018–19 league championship and promotion back to Tribute Cornwall/Devon.

Since 2016 Veor have played home games at the Memorial Ground, just off Boundervean Lane on the outskirts of Camborne. The Memorial Ground is also occupied by Camborne RFC who play their 1st XV fixtures nearby at the much larger Recreation Ground. Previously Veor had played at Wheal Gerry (also in Camborne) where they had been based for 60 years but had to move after being given notice to leave. Thankfully for Veor they were given the opportunity to share the Memorial Ground with Camborne RFC.

Facilities at the ground are fairly basic with standing space for at least 500 spectators, although more are possible with limited viewing. Parking is also non-existent on the country lane nearby, although the ground is five minutes or less walk from the Recreation Ground where easier parking can be made nearby and Camborne RFC have also made the Crane Park clubhouse available for team players and supporters.{{cite web|url=http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/cambornerfc/news/camborne-to-groundshare-with-veor-1674017.html |title=Camborne to groundshare with Veor |publisher=Camborne RFC |date=4 May 2015 }}
