Adlestrop Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Can you identify the names of Cornish Football Clubs in different Leagues from the following clues? 1) It's certainly a chore to find this Club 2) A Shakespearian greeting by the sound of it. 3) Rachel's tonic will reveal this one. 4) Writer's insects ? 5) You need to change nothing to find this Club.

baldy Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 No, but can you clarify what you mean by “different leagues”. I hope you are not suggesting that it is 5 different leagues? If so, one of us needs to have a rethink and it’s not me, I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adlestrop Posted April 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Baldy, all the above 5 can be found in: Peninsula;Combo;ECPL;St.Piran Trelawney and Duchy - some of which have teams in more than 1 League. However, No.5 is only in 1 League.Would you like to PM to me your 4 answers so I can verify ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adlestrop Posted April 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just to redress the balance,here's one for our Devon friends albeit not too difficult: Can you name a Devon Club whose name contains 13 letters-all of which are different.(i.e. half the alphabet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adlestrop Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Absolutely correct Billy-Take a bow! Billy,I hope your Club has better luck next(?) season. On my 3 visits last season all games were abandoned before half time !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Davies Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Lostwithiel. I don't remember that happening, was it the second team? When you visit again come up and introduce yourself and i will buy you a pint after if you are able to stay after. It takes a while for me to be able to walk after a shower. It is always good to meet fellow Forum members. Stay safe and well and roll on the next quiz and next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adlestrop Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Billy, the reason for the abandonements was because "the referee LOST HIS WHISTLE" sorry for the atrocious pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant you were way ahead of me. The offer still stands by the way. We have a lovely ground and well worth a visit in Autumn and with me playing there are always goals.

It wouldn't be correct for me to divulge an identity on here Bill. All I will say is that Ed or Thomas aren't correct, he wouldn't 'have a pint' after a game because he doesn't drink. You have though, known him for many, many years in more than one area of Cornish football. He is in fact still prominent in one of those areas. I will let you stew on that Bill but as I say wont confirm any further guesses right or wrong for the previously mentioned reason. You know me too, although several years ago now!

Unclebilltc do you think it would be a good idea to arrange some sort of get together for Forum regulars when this whole thing has been put behind us. I work in The Health care system and It would be great to meet up and just share memories. Others are welcome to share their thoughts but i for one would love to meet up, beers or o beers.

That's a cracking suggestion Bill and yes a good gathering could have an entertaining evening for sure. No more responses re Adelstrop as earlier indicated, hopefully he will introduce himself on his next visit to Losty then you could reflect on this bit of fun. Myself, no never been involved with Truro City although I do have a little link many, many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
