The champions were promoted to the Cornwall/Devon, and the runner-up played the second team in Devon 1, with the winning team also gaining promotion. One or two teams were usually relegated to Cornwall 2.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Veor moved to the Memorial Ground at the start of the 2016–17 season having been given notice to leave original ground Wheal Berry.[8]
  2. ^ Illogan Park withdrew from the league at the start of the season due to having only fourteen players in their squad.
  3. ^ 3rd place Liskeard-Looe also promoted.
  4. ^ Lankelly-Fowey withdrew during the league season.
  5. ^ The splitting of the Cornwall League back into Cornwall 1 and Cornwall 2 at the end of the season meant that five clubs were relegated. They were St Day, Perranporth, Illogan Park, St Agnes and Redruth Albany.
  6. ^ There was no relegation as Cornwall 1 and Cornwall 2 were combined to form a single division in the first half of the following season.
  7. ^ The result of the 2003–04 promotion play-off between Old Plymothian & Mannamedian and Perranporth is not listed on the RFU website, although Old Plymothian & Mannamedian would have had home advantage as they had a better league record than Perranporth. We do, however, know that Old Plymothian & Mannamedian won this game as they were in Cornwall/Devon the next season while Perranporth were not.
  8. ^ Due to the restructuring of the English league system by the RFU for the 2009–10 season there would be no 2008-09 promotion playoff between the league runners up in Cornwall 1 and Devon 1 with the champions and runners up from each league going up automatically.
  9. ^ Topsham were automatically promoted at the end of the 2015–16 season as Camborne School of Mines did not want to be promoted.[54]
  10. ^ Torrington were automatically promoted at the end of the 2016–17 season as Newquay Hornets did not want to be promoted.[56]

Sponsorship

[edit]

The Cornwall One League was part of the Courage Clubs Championship and sponsored by Courage Brewery from the first season, 1987–88 to season 1996–97.[59] The league was unsponsored until season 2007–08 when St Austell Brewery sponsored South-west based leagues under the Tribute Ale label.
