The league will be based at two venues operating in the East and West of the county.
Fixtures will be midweek, adopting a flexible approach resulting in teams playing every
other week, allowing players to fit this opportunity in and around their work and other
playing commitments.
● East Division - Callington 3G (Friday - 7pm to 9pm)
● West Division - Falmouth School 3G (Thursday - 8pm to 9pm)
Both leagues will be split into two phases (each phase running for a total of 14
weeks) with a break for Christmas inbetween. Therefore, new teams can join the
provision over the Christmas break ahead of Phase 2. Both leagues will commence on the
week beginning 12th September 2022 and operate in a format of 7/9 a side (TBC
following initial launch meeting) with 40-minute matches.
