Football matches are set to take place this weekend in Cornwall despite the Duchy being one of several counties in England placed into drought on Friday afternoon.
Western League:
In the Western League, Falmouth Town will be targetting their first win in the league this season.
Town progressed to the preliminary round of the FA Cup with a comeback 2-1 victory over Saltash United last time but are yet to taste three points in the league, with a draw to Wellington and a loss to Millbrook on their record so far this season.
Town are expected to have a number of their key players returning to the matchday squad after ten regulars were absent from the team last weekend for various reasons.
Helston Athletic are also at home as they take on Wellington. Athletic beat Street 2-1 in their last outing but on their only league game so far they were heavily beaten 4-0 by Bridgwater United.
The Packet will have live updates from this fixture.
Other Cornish sides in action in the Western League see Mousehole travel away to Ashton and Backwell United and Saltash head to Buckland Athletic. Meanwhile, Millbrook host Bitton and Torpoint welcome Cadbury Heath.
