MORE rain, coupled with high winds meant that, unsurprisingly, the local football scene was hit that hard that only two games involving Post area clubs were played on Saturday.

With more rain in recent days there’s likely to be a reduced schedule although there’s plenty of cup competitions to look forward to if it does.

Three Post area clubs are left in the last 32 of the RGB Cornwall Senior Cup.

Launceston have the most difficult task possible as they head to Saltash United (2pm), who are currently second in the South West Peninsula League Premier West table with 40 points from 15 games.

The Ashes are averaging over five goals per game and have conceded just 12, two of which were scored by the Clarets in a 6-2 reversal back in August.

Camelford will fancy their chances when they host fellow Premier outfit St Dennis at Trefrew Park (2pm). The two sides met in North Cornwall only 16 days ago with the Camels emerging 2-1 winners.

Reg Hambly’s side are eighth with St Dennis second bottom in the 20-team division.

Callington might be behind Wendron United in the Premier West table, but when the two sides met at Callington on October 5, it was the East Cornwall side who romped to a 5-1 success.

In decent form since then, Callington will hope for a repeat at the Ginsters Marsh.

In Premier East, Holsworthy make the long trek to Axminster Town, looking to maintain their four-point buffer above the bottom two.

Morwenstow haven’t played since October 5 due to a bye and the poor recent weather.

The St Piran League (East) outfit will try and play their Kernow Stone League Cup tie against Liskeard Athletic Reserves (2pm) for a third time this Saturday, although it’s been switched from Lux Park to Morwenstow’s home ground.

Launceston Reserves and Bude Town have the chance to cement themselves in the top six of the Piran League East.

Launceston will leapfrog St Mawgan into fourth with a win over the Newquay-based side, while a St Mawgan victory coupled with a Bude victory at Lanreath will see the Seasiders jump above the Clarets into fifth with a game in-hand.

St Minver and North Petherwin are both on the road this weekend in the East Cornwall Premier League (2.30pm).

Fourth-placed St Minver go to Veryan, with both sides on the same number of points and level on goal difference.

North Petherwin have played just seven games so far but have notched four wins. They head to St Stephen are going well in sixth.

St Teath have a tough task in the quarter-finals of the League Cup. They welcome leaders Foxhole Stars, who have won eight and lost one of their nine league fixtures.

Duchy League clubs Stoke Climsland, Altarnun, St Breward, North Hill, North Petherwin Reserves, Gunnislake, Tintagel and North Devon League Senior Division side Kilkhampton will try and play their Cornwall Junior Cup ties for the third successive weekend.

Some of the home venues have been switched with Altarnun now going to Stoke Climsland, North Hill heading to Mevagissey and Biscovey entertaining Tintagel.

The ties involving Gunnislake, Kilkhampton, North Petherwin and St Breward remain as they are with Gunnislake hosting St Stephen Reserves, North Petherwin welcoming Duchy Premier St Newlyn East, St Breward heading to Dobwalls Reserves and Kilkhampton jaunting down the B3254 and A388 to Calstock.

In Duchy One, there’s one league game scheduled as St Minver Reserves welcome Gorran to Trewint Lane.

Four Post area clubs are scheduled to be in action in the Shoe Boy Duchy League Cup including Division Two leaders Southgate going to St Cleer Reserves and Boscastle Reserves heading down the coast to St Eval Spitfires.

However the match of the day is the derby between Week St Mary and Bude Town Thirds at Hannaford Park.

Elsewhere, in Duchy Three Delabole United welcome St Mawgan Reserves.

In the Devon cup competitions, it’s a case of try, and try again for Ashwater, Shebbear United, Holsworthy Reserves, Shebbear United Reserves and Lifton.

Holsworthy are set to travel to Exmouth Spartans in the third-round of the Senior Cup with Lifton welcoming Exmouth Spartans Reserves at the same stage of the Intermediate Cup.

Shebbear will hope their clash at home to Exeter and Devon League Division Four side Sampford Peverell goes ahead.

In the second-round of the Intermediate Cup, Ashwater and Shebbear United Reserves will try for the fourth time to play their second-round clashes against Hartland Clovelly Reserves and Culm United Reserves respectively.

In North Devon, each division has it’s own league cup.

Premier side Bradworthy go to Torridgeside seconds (2.30pm) in the Brayford Cup while Senior Division Bridgerule head to Combe Martin in the Combe Martin Cup.

In the Bill Slee Cup for Intermediate Two sides, Morwenstow Reserves go to Braunton Fourths while Bridgerule entertain leaders Eastside at Vinnacombe Park.

Bradworthy Reserves have an Inter League 3 Cup home tie against Braunton Fifths.

Exeter and Devon League side Halwill are having a good season so far in Division Two. They head to bottom club Heavitree United Reserves looking to close in on the top two, while Halwill Reserves welcome second-placed Hemyock to West Devon in the league below.
