Cornwall Representative U18 Update (Source: Cornwall County FA).

Sponsorship for 2015/16 season secured and team to run.

Following the recent announcement by Cornwall FA relating to the withdrawal of the Boys U18 representative side, we are pleased to say we have secured funding which will enable us to operate the team next season.

Truro City Football Club will be supplying their team coach for travel to away matches and Helical Retail have agreed to sponsor the team. We would like to thank them both for their generosity as without it we wouldn't have reached this outcome.

Dawn Aberdeen, Chief Executive of Cornwall FA is delighted that a solution has been found.

"We didn't make the initial decision to withdraw the team lightly, however, faced with significant cuts to our budget we had to look at all areas of the business to make savings. This is a process which is ongoing, however on this occasion, the support from Truro City and Helical Retail has allowed us to move forward with an U18 side for 2015/16 which we are all thrilled about.

However we will still have to review the situation again in 12 months time."

Next season the team will compete in The South and West Counties Championship and FA County Youth Cup, details of all the fixtures will be on the website, so all those people who were disappointed by our original decision will be able to come along and support the team.
