RELEGATION from Tribute Cornwall One has been confirmed for Stithians – meaning Helston survive the drop.

A nervy three weeks have been endured by the Clodgey Lane outfit as their life in the division would only be guaranteed if champions Newquay Hornets beat Stithians.

After a couple of postponements, it was finally confirmed on Saturday the Hornets had been awarded the victory with a walkover.

Helston’s final game of the league season saw them beat Stithians 36-23.

They will meet again on Saturday in the Cornwall Clubs Cup.

In their first game of the competition, Helston were beaten 32-27 at home by Lanner, who recently won promotion from Tribute Cornwall Two.
