That meeting was ridiculous why wasn’t the constitution of number of teams voted in before the agm ??

before the 5 teams who gave up there time  went to that meeting shambles of a meeting 

 

The agenda for all AGMs is set out in the FA Standard Code of Rules. The constitution of the league and the filling of vacancies are both stipulated agenda items and can only be voted upon at an AGM.

The constitution for how many teams in the league wasn’t even on the agenda to be discussed it actually said they’re going to be 16 teams 

then the guy from st teath got his pants in a twist because they didn’t get st pirrans  because they finished like 7th he moaned that it would make the duchy weaker yet stopped the league his side are in from getting stronger 🙈 makes sense

Wasn’t it that was the wishes of league committee and no one had said anything prior to the night? So no fault of the league at all.

Reading posts in the St piran section concerning St Cleer changing their name to Liskeard. It states  it's not an issue for promotion to the St Pirans, but if they are actually moving to lux park and basically a new club, then it is a issue and would not be allowed promotion.

If the person who made this statement is correct, he also states that it would also be an issue concerning the ecpl?

So should St Cleer/liskeard be allowed to continue in the ecpl if they are moving to Lux park?

The same chap from St Teath that just so happens to be on the league management committee.  It’s not what you know it’s who you know.

If the vote went no then St Cleer would have played at Lux Park so it was seen as easier to allow the change of name for that team from most clubs I would imagine.

So we’re they in the top league? Duchy league is confusing i thought the Nanpean league was the top league.

Thanks Dave makes sense now although shame to have two top leagues. Wonder what changes will be made next season and if any new sides will be entering 

The idea of two Division Ones last season was to then after the promoted teams go up to ECPL, make a "Premier Division" from the top halves of them.

The bottom halves of each would become the new Division One and then they would have a Division Two below that. I'm assuming that is still the plan.

That's what I've heard too. With Lanreath and Wadebridge Reserves reforming to replace the two clubs promoted to the ECPL as well as other new clubs forming hopefully the Duchy league is strong again with a Prem, Div1 and so on.

Not sure Wadebridge are interested in the Duchy League. More likely to be entering the U23 mid-week league at Callywith.

I thought the ECPL would have been back to 16 teams this season. That was the plan from what I heard. 14 is a random number for a league at that level. 

Do St Cleer FC still exist then in any way? Or have they folded to become Liskeard reserves and thats it?

That was the wish of the main committee but one of the club representatives suggested 14 on the night and that was what was voted through by the clubs.

Will still be in the Duchy League as far as I’m aware

Lovely ground up at St Cleer, always enjoy a visit there. Cracking little stand. They even had pasties & hot drinks last time I went. Well worth a trip for those doing 'The Duchy League' 👍📸

That 1 person made a suggestion and all the sheep followed 😂 16 teams would of been much better and more competitive. 

Not all followed. Is that not how it works. Better than the league just pushing through what they wanted against the clubs wishes.

Seems like the county FA are not happy bunnies.   Not good news for the Duchy league if they lose two more teams.  

It also means the league cup will have to be re drawn. 

Nobodies fault other the league committee for not following they’re own constitutional procedures.

What does that mean.  Seems odd the St Piran League can start with just 14 by rejecting 2 clubs.  While the ECPL clubs themselves voted for 14.  So its ok unless the county say otherwise. 

Could it be that 14 clubs would have been ok, if the league had followed the correct procedure?

The St Piran league would have followed their constitution to arrive at 14 teams.

I obviously don’t know the finer details but county FA would only get involved if the league’s constitution wasn’t followed.

Liskeard AFC Reserves

Wadebridge Town Reserves

St Columb

Sides all voted into the ECPL on this evening's vote. The constitution remains at 16 with Clubs able to submit a proposed change in the New Year.

Good to see so many Clubs in attendance tonight and to see a few friendly faces. Whilst the League may have got things wrong at the first stab, at least they had the courage to stand up and apologise. I've also seen some mud thrown at Will Kitto this week which I believe was uncalled for. We're all entitled to our opinions, either for the best of our Clubs or the League as a whole. Let's remain in healthy debate. Looking forward to seeing most of you again in the 2022/23 season.

Just to confirm, the name change wasn’t voted in, St Cleer had to withdraw at the AGM and Liskeard Reserves were voted in as were St Columb and Wadebridge Reserves at the SGM.

Good to see 6 teams with floodlights.  Should help the fixtures. 

It says the St Piran League didnt reject w clubs.  If you look on St Piran site it says that none of the  applications were successful.   

The St Piran League didn’t reject them though. The constitution is decided at The FA level for Regional Feeder Leagues.

The St Piran constitution is set by the FA as it is for all NLS Feeder League's.  It's a flexible, if that's the right word, number in that the minimum is 14 and the maximum is 16 unless 'the great majority' have lights in which case it can go to 18.  Its highly unlikely that we would ever get to 18.

If, after all promotion and relegation has taken place, vacancies exist the decision as to whether the vacancies are to be filled rests with Cornwall FA and the FA Leagues Committee.  St Minver in 4th applied but couldn't meet the ground grading criteria and Foxhole in 5th didn't apply. St Teath and St Cleer were not accepted under the FA's process.  This very different to other leagues operating under the standard code of rules where they can elect clubs to fill vacancies.

Personally jumping the gun and thinking that Major needed a top four finish to qualify for promotion..

But now St Columb have been given promotion to ECPL..

Congratulations Casey, you've done yourself and the town proud.

Keep up the good work and enjoy the experience...

St Columb applied to join, like the other 4 teams. Don’t forget clubs withdrew last season so there was additional spaces. 
 

I think they will do well with a derby game thrown in the mix. A cracking set up etc. 

thought ECPL was quite strong last season, think it is stronger this season
