Cornwall Leagues to merge?


Recommended Posts

John Mead is on of the few contributors on this Forum worth taking seriously;and a  comment in one of his recent postings caught my eye which

mentioned the possibility of the Combo/Trelawney and ECPL/Duchy merging to form 2 Leagues in Cornwall-East and West.I have a feeling this is

the wish of CCFA.Is this viable?

Always a delight to read the fruits of your sage keyboard, Adlestrop ! We now have the league structure in tge West that I proposed and circulated to clubs in 1994

At the time it was met with abuse and animal grunting. The Grim Reaper. Is the only agent of change the.more conservative of my countrymen ever accept. To interact, it was necessary, like Macbeth's porter, fir ne to swear in their scale for a while. Change eventually happened. As WBYeats observed, "the innocent and the beautiful Have no enemy but Time. "

It's a decision for the Clubs to make and both the Trelawny & Combo Leagues will be mentioning the possibility at their AGMs and seek the consent of member Clubs to open formal discussions between the 2 Leagues. I would hope and expect that ECLP & Duchy Leagues do something similar.

Tempo - Combo / ECPL are not senior football.

They are allowed to play in senior cup by the ccfa - as ccfa would be involved in any change to league structures then it could be negoaited if that's what clubs want. 

My mistake. Apologies. I always assumed it wasn't junior football because of the hype around it.

I would guess that the top two divisions of both Leagues would be in Senior Cup Rodney - so a few extra teams from the West! We will have to wait to see if it ever happens!

I would imagine the combo would have to split into two leagues like the east Cornwall did.

Well according to some on here there's not a lot of difference in the quality of football ,  in my opinion Combination division one and two with two being the teams in Trelawney premier  to start off  with , cup competition would have to be worked out , . But several people will remember how many years and meetings it took to set up the Trelawney League from the old Mining league and Falmouth Helston league .
