"The penalty count was astronomical, it was 20-7 so you're not going to be winning any games when you have that sort of penalty count," Cattle told BBC Radio Cornwall.

"But I'm proud of that last 15 minutes. We showed glimpses of what we can do, but ultimately you need the ball to play with and you need to launch off the set piece and we struggled to do that."

Cornwall now has just one legal aid lawyer working on housing and debt, it has been revealed.

It comes as a BBC investigation shows cuts to the legal aid budget in England are creating so-called "advice deserts" across the country - as local solicitors, not for profits and charities close their doors.

Up to one million people in the UK live in areas with no legal aid provision for housing at all, with a further 15 million in areas with one provider.

Campaigners said the situation had worsened as a result of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, external, which withdrew aid from areas of law, including family, welfare, housing and debt - and the subsequent reduction in the advice network.

Figures from the Ministry of Justice reveal hundreds of local providers have pulled out of legal aid work over the last six years, with almost £500m less being spent on contracts.

Campaign group Liberty said access to justice had been "significantly undermined".

The Ministry of Justice said it took "urgent action" whenever it had concerns over provision.

It was also claimed police were called to the complex to remove a man who was drunk on one occasion.
