TRURO CUP DREAM REMAINS ON COURSE

Truro City made it through to the FA Cup third qualifying round after seeing off Wessex League Bournemouth FC with two late goals.

The White Tigers went a goal behind to a Dave Ewen strike before Barry Hayles grabbed an equaliser. With 15 minutes to go, Bournemouth regained the lead through Jon Blake before they hit back through a penalty from Scott Walker and a late Marcus Martin strike.

Lee Hodges' side now face a trip to Gloucester City in the next round as they bid to become the first Cornish side to reach the FA Cup 1st round since the 1960's.

The result also provides a major boost for the White Tigers, who are facing a winding up order on October 31st over an unpaid tax bill.
