In August 2003, St. Eval Eagles Football Club, based next to the wind farm, received sponsorship from npower renewables for the team’s new kit. The youngsters at St. Eval Eagles Football Club are a team of mixed Service and civilian children run by a mix of RAF and civilian coaches.

The club plays in the East Cornwall Youth Football League and trains every Sunday morning from 11am until 1pm. The club is open to all children from 6-14 years of age and anyone wanting to attend please contact coaches Richard Old on 01841 540 724 or Marc Roberts on 01841 540 780.

In 2004, npower renewables announced the launch of the npower renewables cup. An event, sponsored by npower renewables, supported by RAF St. Mawgan and local companies and hosted by St. Eval Eagles Junior Football Club. The first event was held on Saturday 24th July 2004 at the Eagles home ground of St. Eval, 6 miles north east of Newquay.

Although it was the tournament’s first year there was a fantastic response. Over 40 junior football teams from across Cornwall and Devon took part and it is estimated that more than 1,500 members of the public attended.

Glyn Wilkinson, of St. Eval Eagles Football Club said, "St. Eval Eagles are delighted to have hosted the tournament and it is fantastic to see such a great response with so many teams taking part."

Not only did the event prove to be enjoyable for all those that took part but over £100 has been raised though the sales of tournament programmes. The money raised has been handed over to RAF St. Mawgan for distribution to charity.
