NATIONAL QUALIFIERS
On Saturday Qualifiers for the National Fours, Mixed Fours and Singles are scheduled to take place at Carnmoggas.

INTER COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
On Sunday Cornwall's Premier and A Teams play their first home matches in this season's ESMBA Inter County Championship with Dorset the visitors to Carnmoggas.  The matches get underway at 10.00 and are expected to finish at around 16.00.  Spectators are welcome throughout the day.

Cornwall's Premier Team have scored 34 out of a possible 120 points in their three away matches and are 12 points behind Hampshire who have completed all their home matches.  Cornwall's target over the three home games is to outscore Hampshire by at least 13 points to avoid the Premier One relegation play off and the possibility of no longer facing the far south west counties in the group stages next season.  

Cornwall's A Team have scored 37 out of a possible 80 points in their two away matches and the three counties are separated by just 5 points with Devon on 42 and Dorset on 41 leaving all to play for over the remaining two fixtures.

Cornwall's other remaining group stage fixtures are on Sunday 4th December against Devon for both teams and Sunday 22nd January against Hampshire for the Premier Team.

Team Manager Nigel Nicholls has informed the squad that having stepped in at the last minute to manage the team this year he does not intend to stand for the position next year and the County Committee is seeking interest from anyone willing to take on the role for the 2023/24 season.
