Dave Deacon Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 FROM THE CORNWALL FA ON TWITTER CORNWALL SENIOR CUP FINAL Unfortunately the weather has beaten us. Despite holding off in best hopes of the bad weather not arriving the pitch is now unplayable and with the weather forecast indicating much more rain this evening and overnight we have had to admit defeat and call tomorrow’s Senior Cup Final off. We would like to offer our sincere thanks to St Blazey FC for continuing throughout the day to try and keep the game on on our behalf. I am sure you will understand that we will continue our best endeavours to try and find an alternative date as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsider Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 I wonder if this is the first time the Senior Cup has been posponed from Easter Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time post war I think it wasn't played on Easter Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornishCarrot Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Why has this game not been moved to a 3G pitch in the county ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mead Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I'm not aware of any 3G pitches which have sufficient spectator facilities; would only be a suitable solution if nobody wanted to watch the game! The problem now for CCFA is to find a venue which has a spare date to be able to host the rearranged final - at least they've got until the end of May to fit it in!

The fact is that nearly all suitable grounds are already being fully used to catch up with previously postponed fixtures and both finalists still have league fixtures to fulfil. It's a nightmare situation with no easy solution, especially as there seems to be no let-up with the weather! - unless you know better Big Al?

middle mans mate Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Perhaps Big Al could use some of the hot air he spouts to dry some of the pitches....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppit Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Extend the season to end of May seems sensible, Why are the FA so bullish? Only other solution is to play on the pitches regardless of condition with players playing at their own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hetty Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Let both finalists finish their league fixtures which at the moment need to be done by weekend of the 5th May. Put the final the following weekend Saturday 12th May and it could act as a good finale to the season. I’m sure the game will attract a much bigger crowd then a rainy/cold Easter Monday.

That will clash with the SWPL Final. Perhaps as it is different teams though they could do a double header! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even better as there are 4 different teams involved play both finals at Wadebridge on the same day. Massive crowd and a great end to the season!

Isn't there a silly CCFA rule where only one game can be played on a ground at one time? Ie St Day 3rds couldn't play if 1sts are home in the cup? Which game would be the first?

Dave Deacon Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Don’t see why either should want to share their showpiece final with each other! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beacon Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Have to agree why the senior cup doesn’t become an end of season showpiece after the league is done allows for better weather, better crowd .and free’s up Easter to concentrate on league games .maybe it could be tried for one season?

Dave Deacon Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Not sure why we should change from Easter Monday Senior Cup Final. League games take place on the same day now anyway so no bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
