TRURO RECORD WIN IN FACE OF ADVERSITY

In what could possibly be their last ever fixture in Conference South, Truro City registered a win against Boreham Wood at Treyew Road.

The White Tigers, who's future is now looking extremely uncertain following the news that they are filing for Administration yesterday, took the lead in the 27th minute through club record goal scorer Stewart Yetton.

On the stroke of half-time, Truro were reduced to ten men and visitors to nine when Boreham Wood's Ben Nunn committed a rash challenge on Truro youngster Cody Cooke, which was then followed by the double dismissal of City skipper Jake Ash and Boreham Wood's Charlie O'Loughlin, following a tussle between the two players.

Full-back Ben Williams doubled Truro's lead in the second half when he headed home an Adam Kelly cross before the visitors were reduced to eight men after Luke Garrard received his marching orders for an altercation with Yetton.

The drama now switches from the pitch to the High Court as Truro face a winding up order over an unpaid tax bill of £15,000.

This announcement was made by Chairman Chris Webb, who recently took over the role after Kevin Heaney stood down from the position after he was declared bankrupt by Truro County Court a week ago.
