The Black and Gold lifted the Bill Beaumont Cup for the first time since 2022, ending an impressive campaign with a third victory.
It capped off a historic day for Cornwall rugby - their women's side beat Durham to win the Division Two title on their first-ever visit to England's rugby headquarters.
The win also ended a historic season for many of the Cornwall squad who had won the National Two West title with Camborne earlier in the season.

Sean Buzza's eighth-minute try cancelled out Chris Johnson's penalty, but Jack Elam went over for Lancashire to put them 10-7 up early on.
However, two tries in quick succession from Alex Ducker and Kyle Moyle saw Cornwall lead 21-10 after 20 minutes.
Moyle kicked a 33rd-minute penalty but Ashton Kassam-Sharples forced his way over from 15 metres to give Lancashire a lifeline with the half-time score at 24-17.
Lancashire drew the score level eight minutes into the second period when Sam Freeman went over, but will be frustrated not to have done better when Cornwall's Josh Matavesi was sin-binned soon after.
Lancashire were held up over the line, but it was Cornwall who struck as Moyle kicked a 50th-minute penalty before a returning Matavesi extended the lead to 34-24 10 minutes later.
Any lingering doubts that Cornwall could add the Bill Beaumont Cup to their women's Gill Burns Division Two success earlier in the day were ended when Max Bodilly ended a fine flowing move to cross for his side's fifth try with 10 minutes left.
