Falmouth Town will be hoping to make it an Easter weekend to remember when they take on Wendron United in the Cornwall Senior Cup final on Easter Monday. 

The eagerly-awaited clash, which will take place at St Austell's Poltair Park, could see Town seal an impressive league and cup double. 

Town were crowned South West Peninsula League West winners on Good Friday after their much-changed squad beat rivals Penryn Athletic 3-2 at Kernick Road. 

With the previous two seasons ending early due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Town are still defending champions of the prestigious trophy after beating Saltash United 2-1 in 2019. 

Speaking ahead of the fixture to the Packet Town Manager Westgarth said: "Winning becomes a habit and you get into the groove of things. The boys are hopefully well-rested and ready to go because there is no bigger incentive than a double. It is something that we are looking forward to." 

The Manager paid tribute to both sides for making it this far in the competition despite being a league below some of the other teams in the tournament, he said:  "We have to give respect to Wendron, to get to a Senior Cup final you look at some of the sides that enter at the beginning of the season for both of us actually. 

"We are both in the division below, there are some big hitters that haven't got there, Saltash, Helston, Mousehole and Millbrook are the obvious ones they never got there. For us both to get there we have done well so regardless of the outcome it is going to be a tremendous event.

"Numbers-wise, we will help massively towards that. There should be a lot of neutrals there as well, it should be a great showpiece for the county."

Town have beaten Wendron on both occasions this season winning 2-0 and 5-2 respectively. The sides haven't met since November though, since then Town have remained top of the league and won the title with three games to spare.

Wendron have also performed impressively well to sit third in the table and Westgarth was full of praise for the achievements of his opposite number, he said: "I suppose they would have had the biggest improvement (since the sides last played).

"We have been pretty consistent all season, when we played them both times it was on great runs. We have only lost once all season in the league. Obviously, we lost in the league cup in January and the FA Vase whereas they have had a massive improvement in form. 

"You've only got to look at their eight wins in a row forgetting the Dobwalls game. Within that, they have some clean sheets. I highly praise Mike, he has his team well-drilled, they score goals, they are one of the highest goalscorers in the league and they have proved now they don't concede many. It is going to be a tough game. 

"As much as I praise their side we have a lot of threats on our side that can cause anyone danger on their day, I am confident as good as their defence is we have a good attack. And as good as their attack is we have a brilliant defence. We just have to do what we do and I'll be more than confident that we can get the win."

A win on Monday will see Town as Senior Cup champions for the 13th time in their history. They were able to utilise their large squad in their match against Penryn by resting seven first-team regulars.

But Westgarth did hint that those who watched from the sidelines on Friday could make a return on Monday. He said: "Our strength this year has been using the squad, I think that was evident on Good Friday. You always take a gamble on your selection. 

"Managers live or die on their team selection and recruitment so it is important that we use the squad. We have to put it into context as well. Two massive games, three days apart at the best of times is hard going. 

"For the games of this magnitude it's important we used the squad well and for the guys who missed out on Friday it is more than likely they will be back in, fresh and ready to go. Watching the game is completely different to playing it and hopefully, it has given them the appetite to be ready."

The F-Troop, as expected, are travelling in large numbers to the cup final. The fans sold out their coach allocation and the Falmouth manager believes that regularly playing in front of big numbers could give his side the upper hand. "You wouldn't have known it was an away game on Friday." He began. "Wherever we have gone this season they have been great. At home obviously, the atmosphere has been unbelievable, then even away at Buckland, Sidmouth away, Bodmin away, everywhere we go it is unbelievable. 

"To see it on Easter Monday will be special, especially with the Marine Band there, I think the one thing in our favour is the lads are used to playing in front of big crowds and spectacles so hopefully the lads shouldn't be too phased.

"A lot of the side has played in the Senior Cup final before so they know the magnitude of the game and hopefully they can enjoy it and not be so nervous."

Kick-off in the Cornwall Senior Cup Final is at 2 pm at St Austell's Poltair Park. If the match is level at full time the teams will be decided by extra time and if necessary a penalty shootout.
