Club XI Vs Cornwall Pre-Season Tournament

Caradon Claim Pre-Season Trophy with Shootout Victory 

Duchy came within a whisker of retaining the Cornwall Pre-Season Trophy, losing out to a strong Caradon side on penalties in the final.

Aside from the shootout - which culminated in a glorious winning strike from Caradon's Martin Batty - Duchy were undefeated in normal time, winning all three group games and a semi final against Bude, before fighting back from 1-0 down to draw 1-1 with Caradon in the Final.

Caradon, who had been prolific in front of goal throughout the tournament, scored three of their five schootout efforts to claim the title for the first time, and avenge a 2-1 defeat to Duchy at the same stage of last seasons competition.
