Last week we spoke to Andrew Bragg, the Kernow FA Director of Football with an exclusive, this week he’s back on again as he tells us they are working on a bid to stage the next CONIFA World Cup! We’ve got loads of interviews with managers from around the county – from Penzance across the Duchy to Callington and including one with Tony Howard of Storm FC. Tony tells us how the club "was an email away from folding" but has worked towards survival and hopefully the interview gives encouragement to those currently struggling. Rappo gives us his weekly detailed look at the new St Piran League – East and West, that’s after another sob story for his “Bet of the Week”. As usual Cam Weldon talks Truro City and Phil Hiscox keeps us up to date with the Kitchen Kit Ltd South West Peninsula League, this week it has a FA Vase flavour. We welcome former Truro City manager Leigh Robinson back into football as he takes on a role at Helston, while the Blues striker Mark Goldsworthy is our main man as he reaches a terrific goalscoring milestone – his 300th SWPL goal.

Anthony Kendrick is joined by former international manager and now author Justin Walley for an episode of The Big Interview. We discuss Matabeleland, who had a squad including legendary goalkeeper Bruce Grobelaar and their journey to London to compete in the CONIFA World Cup. The tournament included those nations who are not considered part of FIFA, and was well publicised, with Mark Clattenburg refereeing the final and Paddy Power introducing a new green card. Justin resigned as manager following the tournament, and spent some time in Russia for the FIFA World Cup. He details all of his unbelievable experiences with his country, and how he ended up there in his new book 'One Football, No Nets', which details all of the obstacles which he needed to overcome - the small matter of no money, no resources, no salary, no visas, and no sponsors.

Millions of fans from the around the globe will be glued to the opening match of the World Cup in Russia. But on Saturday, in front of a much more modest crowd, the final of an alternative international tournament will take place. The CONIFA World Cup is a competition made up of nations, regions and communities who aren't recognised by football's world governing body FIFA. Caroline Barker has been finding out more. You Can Bet On It! So you think you know who's going to win the World Cup don't you ? Brazil are 4-1 favourites....how about a flutter on European champions Portugal? They are 25-1... What about backing a first African winner? Nigeria are the shortest priced team to do so at 150-1. Well whoever you gamble on, the only certainty is that 'sports betting' is a BIG business. It's worth an estimated $700 billion a year. But where there is gambling on sport, there are criminals attempting to influence the result, or pervert the progress of the competition for financial gain. It's called Match Fixing or Spot fixing and its endemic. Former Australian handball player, Catherine Ordway is now an academic and lawyer with Snedden Hall & Gallop. She's a specialist interest in the problems of match fixing... she's concerned about it's impact on the integrity sport itself Safe in South Africa Over the past few decades, Cape Town in South Africa has developed an unfortunate reputation as one of the most crime ridden cities in the world. Many of the young people living in the city’s townships have little opportunities to make something of themselves, and find security in gangs. Sportshour's Mo Allie has been looking at how the "Play Sport 4 Life" organisation is aiming to provide sporting opportunities for young people.
