Richard Griffin scored their consolation. Edgcumbe scored through Cameron Ross (2), Zak Pearce, Will Dunstone, James Carhart, Ben Dodds and Charlie Lawrie.
Callington Town capped a fantastic season winning the Division One Championship to add to their Junior Cup and Duchy KO Cup wins. They won 3-0 at Altarnun to complete the treble. Ricky Coton, Dan Ashman and Steve Bromhead were the scorers. At the end of the game League Chairman Colin Burrell presented the trophy to the triumphant Callington team.
LC Phoenix remain on target for promotion after a closely fought 2-1 win at Grampound.

Grampound equalised after a stunning forty yard long ball from Simon Garrington found Ryan Morcom on the penalty spot and he put the ball away. An even first half ended with Nathan Cox restoring the visitors lead just before the break. Grampound had the better chances after the break but couldn't force an equaliser.

Champions Veryan faced bottom of the table Stoke Climsland. The struggling East Cornwall club must get much credit for fulfilling the fixture after being unable to raise a team last week.

Tyler Cheshire scored six times and Craig Phillips four times. The scoring was completed by a Liam Cope brace and goals from Justin Trebilcock, Booby Lee Johns, Liam Cock, Mark Ferguson-Smith and Dan Vincent.
Calstock leapfrogged Godolphin Atlantic to put the visitors into the bottom two. Calstock won 2-1 with Mark Northey and Jan Humphrey getting the home goals. Kevin McHugh replied.

Saltash United reserves take a one point lead at the top of Division Four after a 3-2 win over St Stephen reserves in a game played at Foxhole. A very competitive game with Saltash starting the better early on but Matt Bromhead opening the scoring for St Stephen with a powerful left foot shot from the edge of the area. Saltash got the goal they were looking for the end of the half, a disputed goal put in with his hand claimed the St Stephen keeper, the goal scorer was Dan Frazer on 44 minutes. In the second half Saltash took the lead on 78 minutes through Kieran Owen and on 85 minutes they went 1-3 in front when Ash Hooper beat the offside trap to score. He went around the keeper took the ball to the line and then put it in the net. St Stephen pulled a goal back on 88 minutes through Kyle Wray with a great header but too little to late.
St Teath revived hopes of escaping the drop with a fine 3-2 win at St Mawgan reserves. Jamie Phillips and Chris Leach scored the home goals. For club secretary Phillips it was a day to remember. A goal in his last game after 25 years and over 500 games of Duchy football he has decided to retire.
