Paul Collings Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 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.

Dave Deacon Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Very sorry to hear this Paul. Brian was all for Cornish football and in his time he was some referee. Loved to stop and have a chat about the local game. Condolences to all his family and close friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panda Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 If my memory serves me correctly Brian was also a valued member of Torpoint St Johns ambulance service many years ago . Paul Collings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Collings Posted October 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 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. BryJayLew, TheolderIgetthebetterIwas and Tommy Matthews 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
