Ross Tucknott: Cornwall, Sport & All Sorts

In a season where the top three of Esher, Cambridge and London Scottish are involved in their own private promotion tussle, Launceston visit the Recreation Ground today as the best of the rest, wondering if they might be able to pick off a couple of the leaders before the end of April. Last season’s aim [...]

Tonight has seen the destruction of the hopes of billions of people. The failure of the Copenhagen conference to deliver meaningful measures to combat climate change has doomed much of the developing world to the worst effects of climate change.

Despite last season’s early encounter between the two sides being a top-of-the-table clash, which the Reds won comfortably, Blaydon’s form slumped as the season progressed. Holding Redruth to a [...]

Like many people across the county, it’s with more than a tinge of sadness to see the Mounts Bay AGM vote tonight to finish the club for good. Cornish clubs succeeding is always a great thing to see, and Mounts Bay’s success over the last few years was noteworthy indeed. Many people have mocked Mounts [...]
