TRURO MAKE HISTORY WITH FIFTH PROMOTION

Truro City became the first team in the history of English football to win five promotions in six years when they clinched the Zamaretto Southern Premier title with a 3-0 win over Banbury United.

Les Afful, Barry Hayles and Andy Watkins were on target for Lee Hodges' side, who will be playing in the Blue Square South next season.

This is the latest chapter in the remarkable rise of a team that were playing in the Jewson South Western League as recently as 2006.

Since then, they have gained promotion through the Western League and they also won the FA Vase in 2007.

This latest promotion means only two leagues separate Truro from the Football League.
