BUDEHAVEN student George Lumley has been awarded the Cornwall County Cap in acknowledgement of his ten appearances for the Duchy's under 18s football team.

George, who is in Year 13, received the honour on November 15, when he last represented Cornwall.

Budehaven Community Centre Manager Liam Dart said: "George was always destined to do well from a young age. He was named captain earlier in the year for the county side, and depending where he goes to university, I'm sure he will push on in his football career."

A school spokesperson added: "Well done George — a great achievement, and recognition of your dedication to the sport."
