noahc Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 have any teams ever applied for the south western league but never played in it? porthleven made several unsuccessful applications before getting lucky in 1967. in 1966 plymouth command, porthleven and liskeard all applied with only the latter taking it seven votes to six. league secretary tony jewells was always asking exeter, torquay and newton spurs and on one occasion bideford to come back. after argyle withdrew in 1965 he asked the club to reconsider but as they'd been fined £50 they refused unless the fine was scrapped. they were informed that as they hadn't given provisional notice in time it would stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Odgers Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Does Falmouth Town count? when in 1983 they left the Western League and ended up in the Combination LeagueBut still played in the F A Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Deacon Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 For the period you're mentioning - I would say yes! ECPL Champions 1966/67, 67/68, 68/69 Runners-up 1962/63 League Cup winners 1967, 1968, 1969 Evely Cup winners 1967, 1968 Also Cornwall Charity Cup runners-up 1972. Again lost to St Austell, but this time only 4-1 Did they join the Plymouth & District League after this period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendeener Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Dave if they did, why would that be the case, was the P&D league stronger. Also I lied when I said 1 more, how did they end up in the Duchy League then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmooreshead Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Looe's very successful P & D side was composed almost entirely of Plymouth players. In the early seventies they ran a reserve side in P & D 1 to attract local players, but the teams were run as separate entities All the dosh was raised by one individual and when he became to old to raise the money the club in that particular guise went under Some locals then re started the club and applied to the Duchy league. They had to start in the third division. After winning that in the first year they applied for ECPL status with the seconds in Duchy For thirty / forty years since it was ECPL / P & D / Duchy / P & D until the club has lately been a continuous member of the Duchy for ten - fifteen years But to answer your question - Yes they were very good - Seen some senior cup games at the old Hay Lane with 200 - 300 watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
