From The Papers
Wednesday 9 February 1949
R. W. Mainwaring, captain of Truro City Football Club, will play his last game for the City on Saturday before he leaves Truro. His departure will deprive the club of one of its soundest players, and a fine sportsman who is popular throughout the county. He has played for the county nine times, and was county captain last season. When he returned from war service – he was a prisoner of war – he gave his allegiance again to the City club, for which he first played since 1933.
