Good win for Bodmin!

Didn't go in the end raced down to Helston thinking the game at Bodmin was off. Launceston are a very poor side especially at the back and no real end product going forward, only one substitute as well tough time for Launceston 

Helston played well deserved the points played good football on what looked a good surface for this stage of the season

On a separate note, have both Exmouth and Tavistock applied for promotion to the Western League?

Yes both have. The fa recently changed the rules giving promotion to best runners up across the leagues, meaning that both could possibly go up next season. A swpl east with no Tavi, Exmouth or Argyle next season, will open the pathway for a whole host of clubs.

Thanks Rob. Even with either Willand or Parkway going up as champions next season, the Western League Premier could have a decent Devon presence to it next season with them going up and  Barnstaple looking  like they will be relegated from the Southern League.

So why apply in the first place? Seems a waste of everybody’s time, effort and money. There should be a sanction!

No idea of their reasons why, but it does seem strange. Would be great to get the Parkway v Tavistock derbies back (would still prefer of course that Parkway go up as champions).

exactly the reason why Argyle are taking the p*** out of the league... teams vary from 11 professionals to 11 kids, making a mockery of this league by causing inconsistencies with regards to results. Also, rarely go into the clubhouses after the game 👍

Not really,  if a player is signed on he is eligible.  Bodmin for years included Western League players in big games. Other teams did too. No inconsistencies as it's been done for years in leagues everywhere. Man United clearly influenced the 95/96 season after throwing in the kids at Aston Villa on the opening day. Oh wait, United won the league. Their inexperience may have gifted Villa three extra points that season. 

Win, lose or draw they should however go back to the club afterwards. Clubs have volunteers who take the time to make the food for BOTH clubs.

Absolutely spot on with the fact if players are signed on they are eligible.... but comparing Western League Players to full time pro's is a bit of a difference?? This is a local league, not the premier league . I thought there were reserve leagues for reserve sides to go into anyway?
