Look out for a bumper Sport section with plenty of exclusive reports in your current edition of the Cornish Times, available now in the shops!
Tonight at Lux Park will see Bodmin Town meet Liskeard in the first game of the South West Peninsula Premier League season. We lead the back page this week with editor Nigel Walrond’s interview with Bodmin Town manager Darren Gilbert, to get his take on how the land lies ahead of tonight’s match, which Gilbert says will be a ’massive’.
Inside Sport, read a blow by blow (and they really were blows) of Bodmin’s “blitz” against Bude on home turf. Dave Potham brings us reports on some of the friendlies that have been taking place in the league, and we hear about how Callington’s pre-season meeting with Newton Abbot Spurs sadly added injury to injuries for the team.
Staying with football, there’s also a special tribute to Liskeard AFC life member Dave Rawlings, who has died at the age of 89.
You’ll find your guide to the upcoming hockey fixtures for Launceston, Bude and Bodmin, and find out how and where to get the best boat and bank angling through the South West Lakes Trust.
There’s a lovely photo report from the East Cornwall Harriers, who are delighted that running and athletic events have now resumed, and we have a page of reports and results for you from the Bond Timber Cricket League.
