Outsider Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I believe there was a Shipwright Cup. Don't know if it is spelt that way. A bit more. It was played by Junior clubs in the St.Austell area and the final was played on Cup Final evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsider Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 My apologies, but there is Cornwall Senior Cup and Amor Shield in your list. Perhaps you could add Cup Competitions, as a separate group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bray Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 The Mid Cornwall Sunday League standings as of Sunday 2nd January 1970. Riviera Coasters 12 played 23 points St.Minver 12 17 St.Austell YMCA 9 16 New Par 13 16 Fourways YC 13 15 Saltash Rovers 9 11 Pelynt/Polperro 13 10 Tintagel 11 9 Dobwalls 10 8 Callington 10 8 Fowey 12 6 Lostwithiel 9 5 Saltash Food Distributers 9 for 0 points. Unfortunately can't locate a final league table, My press cuttings a tad worse for wear. I do recall that St.Austell YMCA, New Par & Fourways YC played at Par Running Track and the two Saltash clubs played at Landrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if I remember correctly, approaching from Liskeard , top of the hill turned left and somewhere along that road about 1/2 mile. Only played there the once, it was nothing special surface wise. Other times at Warfelton behind Kimberley, we are talking 50 years ago but we did play at Landrake in that particular season.

kevin richards Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 The Nicholas Cup was part of the old West Penwith league but was played on a league system over the season. All the teams in the league thrown into a draw & forming 2 leagues of 8. These games were part of the league program with the top 2 teams in each league playing a final on Bank holiday Monday. I remember at Porthleven playing Nicholas cup games on Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening & then playing the final on the Monday to win this cup in the eighties. & they whinge about playing 2 games a week. 🤣😂🤣😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pethick Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Are any of the leagues mentioned above youth leagues? Remember playing for Liskeard under 14's in the Bodmin & District league (I think that this was what is was called) in the early eighties. My recollection is of being thumped most weeks by the Bodmin based teams , the likes of Mount and Bodminites in particular were very strong. There were always rumours surrounding these teams though that some of there players may have been slightly over age. My memory may be playing tricks with me, or it might be an urban myth that has ingrained in my mind, but some of the "under 14's" may have turned up in their own cars. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
