    Two Devon fishermen who died in rough seas 20 years ago have been remembered by lifeboat crews.

    On the 12 November 1998, the Clovelly fishing boat 'The Blue Hooker' - crewed by Mark Gist and David McBride - was lost.

    To mark the anniversary, Mr Gist's sons, Sam and Max, laid a wreath off Galantry Bower, where the boat was lost.

    Mr Gist was a senior helm with the Clovelly lifeboat and his son, Sam, is now a helmsman with the same team.

    When I am on the boat I feel a strong connection to my dad. He was also a helmsman of the Clovelly lifeboat whilst it was a privately run station in the early 90's and when it became a part of the RNLI and he remains my inspiration."

    Truro City kept up their recent good form with a late 3-2 win over Dulwich Hamlet.

    Having taken a 2-0 lead inside 15 minutes thanks to goals from River Allen and Jon-Paul Pittman, the visitors drew level after Andrew Carey and Nyren Clunis struck either side of half time.

    But Lewis Leigh-Gilchrist's 86th-minute goal sealed a third league win of the season to move Truro three points clear of the National League South relegation places.

    South West farmers are being encouraged to take up new ways of spreading slurry on the land

    There are already tight controls to protect rivers from harmful run-off but three million pounds is being invested by the Government across the UK to advise farmers about best practice and ways to help the environment.

    The system, developed by a farmer from Tiverton, Phil Blake, delivers the natural fertilizer directly into the ground from a bladed bar, reducing the risk of air pollution.

    "We've developed it so that as we're spreading we're trying to do an aeration in effect of the soil at the same time," he said.
