Truro City pulled off arguably the result of the week on tuesday night when they defeated fellow Zamaretto Southern Premier League title challengers Salisbury City 6-0 at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium.
Veteran former Plymouth Argyle striker Barry Hayles scored a hat-trick, whilst substitute Les Afful bagged a brace and former Exeter City starlet Andy Taylor completed the scoring.
The win puts Truro back on top of the Southern League table, a point clear of their Wiltshire opponents, as they continue the fine progress they have made under the guidance of Lee Hodges and his assistant Steve Adams.
Generously backed by owner Kevin Heaney, the White Tigers have become one of the most talked about sides in non-league football in recent years.
From the winning the FA Vase and the Western League One title in 2007, they followed this up in 2008 by winning the Western League Premier Division.
This helped them gain entry into the Southern League and they lifted the Southern League South and West League in the 2008-09 season and should Truro win promotion this season they will become the first Cornish team to play in the Blue Square South.
Their squad includes a number of the Exeter City side that famously held Manchester United to a goalless draw in 2005, including Danny Clay, Andy Taylor, Marcus Martin and Santos Gaia, and manager Lee Hodges has also been able to add his former Plymouth Argyle team mate Barry Hayles to his side.
If they continue at their current rate, who knows they might even become the first side from Cornwall to play in the Football League.
