Falmouth Town will take on AFC St Austell in the Ward Williams – Cornwall Senior Cup Final at Wendron F.C. on Sunday, May 12th – K.O. 4:00pm. This match will be exciting clash between two promoted clubs. St Austell have had a successful South West Peninsula League campaign, which sees them promoted to the Toolstation Western League as champions. We of course have secured promotion to the Pitching In Southern League by winning the Western League Premier Division playoffs. This is our third appearance in the Cornwall Senior Cup Final in five seasons and will be our last chance to win it, as current rules mean that clubs from Step 4 and above are not eligable to enter. This is one game you won’t want to miss!
