CORNWALL will open their season at Dorset in the Unicorns Knock-out Trophy on April 19.

The side’s Minor Counties Championship campaign will get under way against Herefordshire on June 7 at Colwall before welcoming Devon to Truro on June 21.

Grampound Road will stage a three-day game for the first time when Wiltshire travel up for their encounter, starting on July 5.

Another first will see Cornwall take part in the newly established Unicorns Twenty20 Competition.

With counties being split into five groups, all teams will play on May 31.

The four group winners, after a play-off involving two of the pools, will progress to the finals day at Banbury in July.
