Paul Collings 351 Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 I'm sorry to have to report that Brian Conyon passed away last night at the age of 83. Brian gave a lifetime's service to football as a referee, Cornwall FA Council member and former President. I believe he stepped down as President of the Launceston & District Cup the season before last and was still in position as Duchy League President. Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Collings 351 Posted October 22 Author Report Share Posted October 22 Paid our final farewells to Brian this afternoon, so sad that these occasions are so restricted at the moment but the County FA, Duchy League and Launceston Cup were all represented. Cornwall FA's Geoff Lee paid a fitting tribute. TheolderIgetthebetterIwas, Tommy Matthews and BryJayLew 3 Link to post Share on other sites
