INTERNATIONAL CAPS FOR CORNWALL

From the other end of the country, my South-west correspondent, R.V.Lewis, alerted me to "The Times" sports' pages today which was reporting on Cornwall declaring its football independence, no doubt concerned about Brexit and so on!

Yorkshire did this recently when the Yorkees played as a separate "independent state"  in the Conifa tournament, the Confederation of Independent Football Associations. I have dealt with this topic before.

This is for states and regions not recognised by FIFA.

The Cornish have a "national" team, known as Kernow, the Cornish word for Cornwall, as do the Isle of Man, Northern Cyprus, Tibet, the Sami nomads from Scandinavia and a dozen or more.

Local Cornish players either move out to further their careers or get ignored by big clubs. Name 6 Cornish based professional footballers?

Phil Lafferty once of Exeter City is the "national" team manager and will hunt for squad players, one of whom will be Jack Stephens, born in Cornwall and now with Southampton.

Next up is next year's Conifa European Cup and the World tournament in 2020.
The Conifa 2018 world champions are Karpatalya representing the Hungarian population of the Ukraine, who beat Northern Cyprus on penalties in June. 16 teams took part including:-
Padania from N.Italy (3rd place), Szekely Land ethnic Hungarians from Romania (4th place)
The tournament was "hosted" by Barawa, the Somalis diaspora in the UK and was played in London.
Cornwall play UK Conifa in a New Year friendly.

It must be serious, PaddyPower is involved.
