Mousehole are at home at Trungle Parc against local rivals Ludgvan in the first round of the Cornwall Charity Cup tomorrow, Saturday 4th November.
Please note the kick off is at 2pm. There will be extra time and penalties to decide the tie if necessary.
This is the second Cup meeting between the two sides this season. Mousehole won 3-2 at Ludgvan on 16th September in the first round of the SWP League Cup with a rare goal from captain Billy Curtis and two, including a penalty, from Jorome Slew, in front of a good crowd of 148. That victory earned The Seagulls a second round tie at Trungle Parc against Premier Division Camelford on 7th October, and a 1-0 win saw them into the third round with another higher-division side Launceston the visitors on Saturday 30th December.
Ludgvan are two points ahead at the top of the West Division table and unbeaten in the League since gaining promotion this season, with consecutive 9 wins following an opening-day away draw.
Mousehole are 14th, with 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from 11 matches, having played only one of those at home, a 4-1 defeat of Dobwalls two weeks ago.
Last week Ludgvan beat second-bottom Illogan 3-2 at home, while Mousehole drew 3-3 at Plymstock United.
Cornwall FA have nominated The Invictus Trust – a small local charity focussing on adolescent mental health issues – as this season’s beneficiaries of the Charity Cup.
This is an intriguing local derby, Ludgvan with several ex-Mousehole players in their ranks and possibly starting as favourites based on their impressive results, and Mousehole gaining momentum with just one defeat in the last six games in all competitions and playing only their third competitive match at the newly refurbished Trungle Parc.
More information is available in the club’s advert-free match programme priced £1.50 including a ‘lucky number’ cash prize.
