The Ashes take on Helston at Kimberley Stadium on Saturday in what many see as the tie of the last eight.

Millbrook boss Macca Brown has warned his players not to take their eyes off the ‘immediate challenge’ as they prepare to travel to Dobwalls in the Cornwall Senior Cup quarter-final.

The Brook are unbeaten in the Western League premier division since October 16 (nine games) but Saturday’s tie at Lantoom Park (3pm) presents a different sort of test.

It’s a surprise that striker Stuart Bowker’s nickname is not Marmite, because he seems to be one of those players you either love or loathe.
