4. 3rd place Liskeard-Looe also promoted.
5. Lankelly-Fowey withdrew during the league season.
6. The splitting of the Cornwall League back into Cornwall 1 and Cornwall 2 at the end of the season meant that five clubs were relegated. They were St Day, Perranporth, Illogan Park, St Agnes and Redruth Albany.
7. There was no relegation as Cornwall 1 and Cornwall 2 were combined to form a single division in the first half of the following season.
8. The result of the 2003–04 promotion play-off between Old Plymothian & Mannamedian and Perranporth is not listed on the RFU website, although Old Plymothian & Mannamedian would have had home advantage as they had a better league record than Perranporth. We do, however, know that Old Plymothian & Mannamedian won this game as they were in Cornwall/Devon the next season while Perranporth were not.
9. Due to the restructuring of the English league system by the RFU for the 2009–10 season there would be no 2008-09 promotion playoff between the league runners up in Cornwall 1 and Devon 1 with the champions and runners up from each league going up automatically.
