By Cornish Guardian at 07:30 on 15/05/13

PREMIER DIVISION DAN Nancarrow completed his first season in management in style on Friday night as St Austell put seven goals past Liverton United. It has been a superb campaign for Nancarrow and his players, with the Lillywhites fourth in the Premier Division, just four points behind runners-up Plymouth Parkway.

By Plymouth Herald at 05:30 on 10/05/13

CHARLIE ATTIS and Cameron Setter will form a young half-back partnership as Devon bid to return to winning ways tomorrow against Somerset at Tiverton (3pm).
