  DEVONPORT Services boss Dave Oakley admitted his frustration when his team were left idle on Saturday after their opponents judged the city club's pitch unsafe to play on. Many pitches throughout Devon were frozen solid after a week of Arctic-like temperatures and clearly unsafe to play on. The weather claimed practically every match in Western Counties West and the Cornwall-Devon League, while Devon One and Devon Two were completely...

Wilsmore, whose 2011 summer campaign was wrecked by an ankle injury, has returned with a vengeance and has now revised his earlier ambitions for the indoor season. The 26-year-old ran a personal best time and finished a highly-creditable third in the recent British Milers' Club (BMC)...

  ONE hundred and twenty-five years ago, a football match took place in Launceston that was a very low-key affair. But that game signalled the birth of a club that would grow and, occasionally, create national headlines. There was no doubt which was the major team sport at the time, and although rugby football was very popular, a group of former students of public schools and colleges in the Plymouth area decided to form a football...
