The Jolly's Drinks Cornwall Cricket League vice-chairman Mr Jan Vatcha has made a sincere apology to St Buryan Cricket Club following the failure of the County Division One Trophy to be presented on the ground immediately after the end of their final league game against Camborne on Saturday.

Arrangements had been made the previous day between the League Secretary Michael Evans and Mrs Anita George of the St Buryan club to make the presentation following the game at the close of play.

Mr Vatcha, who had anticipated arriving at the ground around 3pm following business in Plymouth, was delayed and in fact did not arrive with the cup until 4p.m.

In the meantime, the game, which had a 1pm start, had been completed in quick time in less than two-and-a-half hours with fewer than 40 of the 96 available overs actually being bowled.
