Rosudgeon became the sixth divisional winner when they wrapped up the Division 5 West title last weekend but there are still seven divisions to decide.
Wadebridge’s defeat at Werrington in the Premier League means they need a max of 14 points, effectively a win, at home to Callington to deny the holders Penzance. Truro have the formality of needing two points at home to Mullion to win County Division 1.
In the Eastern Section, there is a final day Division Two shoot-out at Callington seconds with leaders Wadebridge seconds the visitors. With Wadebridge leading by only three points, it’s winner-takes-all.
In Division Three Ladock go to bottom club Pencarrow, just two points ahead of Callington thirds, who host Tideford.
Werrington Thirds have a 15-point advantage over Lanhydrock Seconds in Division Four. Duloe have won Division 5 and Saltash St Stephens seconds Division 6.
In the West, Camborne seconds only need two points to clinch Division Two at relegation-threatened Mount Ambrose. Constantine, Paul seconds, Rosudgeon and Ludgvan seconds have already celebrated leaving St Stephen seconds with a six-point advantage over Gorran in Division 6 Central. They host Redruth fourths and Gorran entertain Truro fourths.
Wadebridge's Premier League winning run of nine games ended at Werrington to set up a nervy last day. Needing 184 Kevin Renecke made 62 but the innings fell away from 125-4 to 161 all out.

The Penzance batters piled on the runs in the sunshine at St Clare posting 288-5. Opener Jack Paull hit the highest Premier score of the year of 150 before being second out at 226. Ben Seabrook ended on 90 not out. St Austell replied with 188-8 with Jonty Leadbeater unbeaten on 55 after Gary Bone made 52.
The fight to avoid the drop took another twist with Hayle recording back-to-back wins. Tom Sharp took four wickets and top-scored with 45 before being run out in the three-wicket victory at St Just.
Redruth won for the first time in seven attempts to secure their status. They made 185-9 at home to Helston who were knocked over for 100 in reply. Will Jenkin took five wickets for the visitors.
Helston, with only one success in eight games, host St Just on Saturday knowing seven points will keep them in the top flight, should Hayle take maximum points at home to St Austell.
Callington still need three points to be safe after losing to Camborne at Moores Park by three wickets. Dan Stephens made 64 opening the innings for Camborne who have finished strongly with three wins in a row.
