Seniors Captain elect Warwick Holland (West Cornwall) has selected his team and includes a debutant in Cornishman Jon Behennah (Tavistock) amongst his 12 players. The remainder of Holland's team have all represented Cornwall previously.
The full Seniors team is: Gary Stone (Lanhydrock), Colin Kitt (China Fleet), Kevin Mula, Charlie Phillips (both Newquay), Lawrie Bridges, Mark Jenkins (both Bude), Rod Handyside, Steve Barns (both West Cornwall), Guy Norris, Gary Hawking (both Trevose), Andy Rowe (Looe) and Behennah.
For the Juniors this is the first of two matches in this half-term week. Having played the Seniors they will travel to play a friendly against their Devon counterparts at Tavistock on Thursday next.
For the encounter with the Seniors U18 Boys Team Manager Andrew Kevern has selected the following: Jack Kevern (Junior County Captain, West Cornwall), Joab Atkins (Trethorne), Higo Watson, Kian Williams (both Carlyon Bay), Harry Drewett (Falmouth), Alex Dawson (Mullion), Heath Coombes (Newquay), Oban Webber (St Mellion), Kai Dingle (St Enodoc), Tristan Woolcock (West Cornwall), James Tucknott (Radnor) and Archie Haynes (St Austell). Several of Kevern's side are making the move up to the U18 boys level.
Jack Kevern took up office as County Junior Captain at the recent Junior AGM and says he is looking forward to the role. "It is a great honour for me to become Junior County Captain and I hope I can provide the leadership and motivation to see us complete a repeat of the wins we had in 2023 claiming the Roy Greenaway and Ben Enoch trophies."
For Thursday's match versus Devon the 10 man team sees junior stalwart Archie Fox (Falmouth) coming into the side with Dawson, Webber and Haynes missing out.
