Preliminary Round – Green Waves (A) L 0-6 Sat 6 Sep

Team – Skiller (GK), Morgan, Stroud, George Tonkin, Walker, Norman Rapsey, Penberthy, Hunt, Penna, Pascoe, Joe Bertolucci

Truro City have failed to negotiate the first hurdle in a preliminary round of the English Cup Competition, at Plymouth, they lost to Green Waves to the tune of 6-0. It took the Waves just seven minutes to register the first goal, a clever movement between Bravin, Bricknell and Bowler, ending in the latter scoring with ease and from then until the interval with a few rare exceptions, the visitors were outplayed by a team that showed more speed, better judgment, and superior ball control. Individually, the City players performed well, but the forwards lacked the combination noticeable in the home front rank, and this, together with the fact that the Waves’ players never lost an opportunity of shooting, brought it’s own reward. Bravin obtained the second goal, snapping up a centre from Cox without hesitation, and then followed three more in quick succession, Bricknell securing two of them, and the fifth coming from Bowler. In the second half Truro although lacking the polish of the home side, gave a very much improved display, and had they showed to such advantage before the interval the deficit might have been less heavy. The right wing especially was often prominent and some good centres from Hunt gave frequent trouble, while Penna and Pascoe were always active, but chief honours went to the defence, and it says much for the halves and backs that the victors could only score once during this period, when Bricknell seized an opening manoeuvred by Cox and obtained the sixth and last goal. Cornubian and Redruth Times

Truro City received a shock at the Beacon, Plymouth, on Saturday, when they were trounced by Green Waves to the tune of six goals to nil. It was the biggest defeat the City has received since the resuscitation of the club after the war, and it was the first time the City ever participated in the English Cup competition. It was an occasion which will not easily be forgotten by the Citizens. The game was in the preliminary round of the qualifying competition of the Football Association Challenge Cup, and was to decide which club should meet Torquay United a fortnight hence. Both the City and Green Waves held proud records last season, the former being winners of the Cornwall Cup, and the Waves gained the championship of the Plymouth and District League. Knowing the capabilities of the City in previous contests, Green Waves did not anticipate that they would have such an easy journey into the next round, but they found that the City did not come up to last season’s standard of form. The Waves won handsomely, but the score of six goals to nil is not a true reflex of the game. There were periods when the City played bright football, and with more steadiness and accuracy in shooting they would have obtained a few goals. In the first half especially, the Green Waves goal had several narrow escapes, the ball striking the upright or crossbar and just sailing over. West Briton & Cornwall Advertiser

Preliminary Round – Ilfracombe Town (H) L 2-6 (Streat, Neal 44) Sat 17 Sep

Team – Peter Hoggett (GK), R. Morgan, Fred Beer, D. G. Campbell, L. E. Sanderson, Charlie Streat, E. Champion, Ken Minter, Leslie Neal, C. C. McDowell, T. McLarne

Truro City are out of the F.A. Cup competition. They were beaten by a 90-minute side, Ilfracombe Town, at Treyew Road, by six goals to two. But it was not until half-way through the second half that the match was decided. A large crowd watched the City take the field against the “unknown,” and play a game that began with a promise of good, robust football, and ended like the flicker of a dying flame. During the last 15 minutes, Ilfracombe did much as they liked, and it was largely due to the persistent harrying tactics of left-back Beer that the score was not higher.

Extra Preliminary Round – Callington (H) W 4-3 (Minter 2, ??, Simcock 35 pen, Jennings) Sat 2 Sep

Team – Peter Hoggett (GK), A. Gosling, Fred Beer, R. McLellan, G. Simcock, K. Brown, E. Dunstan, Ken Minter, Rex Jennings, E. Wilden, R. Townsend

When Truro City took the field against Callington at Treyew-Road, for their extra preliminary round FA Cup match, how many of Truro’s supporters would have given them a win? But win the City did, by the odd goal in seven, and they did it because they refused to accept defeat. On paper, this Truro team was a much weaker side than that which lost to Penzance last week. But what a vast difference we saw. It was grand to see the forward line quick to accept their chances – the factor which contributed most to a City victory. It was a great game for the spectators. Thrills galore, goals in plenty to warm the hearts of even the most ardent supporter of “brighter football.” and numerous hearts-in-the-mouth moments when Callington looked dangerous. Here we saw two attacks which were slightly better than the opposing defences – a situation which surely added to the entertainment. Fortunes swayed from side to side, first Truro looked on top, and then it was Callington who held the upper hand. One must add that Callington held the upper hand for longer periods than did Truro. Callington were a team of experienced players, at times delightful to watch in their mid-field approach work. They contrasted with the City’s young players, the majority of whom were junior players last season. But a goal in the second minute gave Truro all the inspiration they needed, and only some brilliant one-handed saves by Hambly robbed them of a substantial lead in the first 10 minutes. But if Hambly was good, Truro’s Peter Hoggett was brilliant. Twice he raised his team’s flagging spirits when Callington had the opportunity to gain the lead from penalties. He saved both of them, and in saving the second, he injured his thumb. After having it bandaged, one could have forgiven him any lapses. But he did not ask our forgiveness. He continued to play brilliantly, and must take a great deal of credit for Truro’s victory. It was Callington’s first venture into the FA Cup competition, and they fought hard and well. Three times they equalised with the City after that early set-back. Unfortunately for them, Truro managed each time to regain the lead. Callington’s weakness lay in front of goal, for despite Hoggett’s brilliance, they had their chances to score. Too often they insisted on an unnecessary pass, to give Truro’s defence, which, incidentally, included two reserves, time to cover up. Of the Truro defence, Beer had a good game against the speedy, tricky Elliot, and Gosling, although shaky at times when caught on the wrong foot, saved a couple of certain goals and made Truro’s third for Rex Jennings. Newcomer Brown used his head to good advantage and always attempted to make use of the ball. He found that senior football is much faster than junior and was prone to hesitate too long in defence. Nevertheless, his display warranted the City taking him in hand. Simcock captained the City but lost the toss and Truro found themselves kicking down the slope against the wind. They attacked from the start, and in the second minute forced a corner, McLellan headed back the clearance to Minter, who rounded a back and scored from an acute angle. A minute later they forced another corner, and this time Hambly brought off a brilliant save from Minter. Gradually Callington settled down, and play swung rapidly from end to end. Hambly was still the busier goalkeeper. After 15 minutes, Truro visibly slackened, and Hoggett was leaping about his goal like a jack-in-the-box. He was beaten in the 18th minute, when Hobbs deflected a Pengelly shot into the net. The score remained at 1-1 until the 35th minute, when Wilden got the ball in the centre. He beat his man and sent the ball crashing into the back of the net, but the referee ruled that he was fouled, and awarded a penalty. Simcock took it and scored. Five minutes later, Callington were awarded a penalty against Minter. Left-winger Pengelly took it, but Hoggett saved in grand style. So half-time came with the score 2-1. It was Callington who were in a hurry in the second half. Before it was a minute old they had equalised through a good header by Hobbs. Three minutes later the ball bounced against Beer’s arm, and Callington had another penalty. This time right-winger Elliott took the kick. He sent in a terrific shot just to the side of Hoggett, but Hoggett punched it out and the ball sped high towards the corner flag. Truro breathed again, and two minutes later said thanks to Hoggett by scoring. Gosling intercepted a pass to break up a Callington attackand sent a long clearance up to Jennings. Rex outpaced the defence and pushed the ball past Hambly. The score was 3-2. It was not until the 31st minute that Callington equalised, and then rather luckily. Francis put in a weak shot, Gosling slipped, completely unsighting Hoggett, and the ball trickled into the corner of the net. Four minutes later, Minter and Dunstan indulged in a bout of passing on the right wing. Suddenly Minter spun round and crashed the ball into the far corner of the net to score the winning goal.

Preliminary Round – Green Waves (A) W 3-2 (Doddridge 3 OG, Jennings 32, McLellan 67) Sat 16 Sep

Team – Peter Hoggett (GK), Murton, Charlie Streat, Ken Minter, Simcock, Townsend, Dunstan, Rex Jennings, Rapsey, Wilden, McLellan

Once again Truro City confounded their supporters, on Saturday, by winning their first preliminary round FA Cup match with Green Waves, at Treyew Road, after, at one stage, few of them expected the City to pull it off. They won by the odd goal in five after holding this strong Green Waves side in the second half when at half-time most people thought the Waves would have scored several goals. A strong wind, approaching gale force, was blowing right down the pitch, and in the first half Truro had its assistance. But at half-time they held only a 2-1 lead. Taking into account that Green Waves had been penned in their own half for 90 per cent of the 45 minutes – their goal was the only real shot on the target in the first half – one could not be blamed for thinking that the margin was not big enough. We had seen something of the shooting power of the Waves’ attack and anticipated some hard drives from well out, drives that could so easily in this wind have resulted in goals. But those of us who gave Green Waves a “hatful” of goals in the second half were proved, oh, so wrong. Truro had almost as much of the play as the Waves, and Hoggett was not called upon nearly as much as one would have expected. Undoubtedly the reason for this lack of shooting by the Waves was the grand displays given by the wing-halves, Minter and Townsend. Minter, especially, was a tower of strength in defence, with that almost unbelievable leap into the air of his to head away dangerous-looking lobs down the middle and yet he still found time to open up the game for his forwards. Truro’s defence, in which centre-half Simcock and left-back Streat were outstanding, refused to leave the feet of the Waves’ forwards, with the result that they could not shoot. Simcock had centre-forward Copp “in his pocket” for most of the second half, while on the right Murton did all that was asked of him, including preventing two almost certain goals in the first half. This was a re-arranged Truro side. The only regular first-team missing were Richards and Beer; Murton deputised for Richards; Townsend replaced the injured Beer; McLellan switched to outside-left, Minter to right-half, and Jennings came in at inside-right. The result was some very brainy play during the first-half, but a little lack of punch. It was half-back Minter who showed the forwards what was needed – hard, accurate first-time shots. But the forwards did not learn and tried to walk the ball into the net. Time and time again their tactics played into the hands of the Waves’ defence, past-masters at the off-side trap. Green Waves played some very nice football in mid-field, finding their men well, with inside-left Basset the arch-schemer. But, for most of the time, Truro were faster on the ball, and with the wind making accurate passing difficult, they were quick to intercept. Truro lost the toss, and the Waves elected to play against the wind. From the start it was obvious that we were not going to see a spectacular game. Just to illustrate the force of the wind one recalls that a free-kick in the Truro goal area, taken by Townsend travelled fast to the far end for a goal kick. In the third minute Truro got rather a lucky goal, Willden crossed the ball into the goalmouth all along the ground, centre-half Doddridge got his foot to it, and the wind took the ball into the net. It was all Truro in this half except for infrequent breakaways, most of which were dealt with competently by the defence. Hoggett was not really tested until the 28th minute when he was beaten by a peach of a shot by Copp to level the scores. Before this Truro had been doing everything but score, yet it took them but four minutes to regain the lead. Rapsey had the centre-half wondering what he was going to do away to the right of the penalty area when he suddenly slipped the ball across for Jennings to run on to and score with a grand long-range shot, Marshall in the Waves’ goal was continually in action, but half-time came with the score 2-1. It took Green Waves just 12 minutes of the second half to equalise, and Truro supporters’ hopes sank. But not so the team. They fought back, and keeping the ball low as often as possible worked their way up the field. With Willden prominent, they got in several good shots. Then in the 22nd minute McLellan received the ball on the wing, and with a deceptive-slowness, coolly beat two men, steadied himself, and crashed the ball past Marshall from an acute angle. Surely the best goal of the match. Three minutes later Hoggett saved brilliantly from a free kick taken by George. At the other end Dunstan made a good attempt, and Rapsey had only the goalkeeper to beat but shot right at him. Two minutes from the end Copp sent in a terrific shot, but through the air came Hoggett to punch it well out of the danger area. Right on time Dunstan could have made Truro’s score more decisive. He cleverly beat the defence, and after drawing the goalkeeper out, pushed the ball the wrong side of the post. So the final whistle blew with Truro deservedly winning their ticket to the next round. Just who their opponents will be is not yet known. Either Bridgwater or Glastonbury will be visiting the City on Saturday week. They drew on Saturday 1-1. West Briton & Cornwall Advertiser

1st Qualifying Round – Glastonbury (H) L 2-4 (Dunstone 18, 46) Sat 30 Sep

Team – Peter Hoggett (GK), Richards, Charlie Streat, Ken Minter, Simcock, Holyoak, Dunstan, McLellan, Rapsey, Wilden, Dunstone

Once again the contention that the better the opposition the better football will Truro City play and the harder will they fight was upheld on Saturday. For, when the final whistle blew at Treyew Road and the City had been knocked out of the FA Cup competition by Glastonbury by four goals to two, the near 2,000 Truro supporters went home proud of the 11 amateurs who fought such a grand battle against the professionals. The 400 Glastonbury supporters, too, must have felt that the long journey had not been a waste of time. It was a grand sporting game, with both teams overcoming the greasy conditions well. That Glastonbury deserved their win was beyond question, but that did not detract from the fighting display of Truro. Indeed, at one time it seemed as if Glastonbury were in for a shock. Truro took the lead at 2-1, but in the end the superior stamina of the Glastonbury players saw them through to victory. They played Truro almost to a standstill with their copy-book passing and covering the ground with the minimum of effort. One could not help thinking that Glastonbury were not being allowed to play as well as their supporters knew they could. The quick tackling of the Truro half-backs, with Minter again outstanding, and a resolute defence kept them in check for long periods. And when straight from the kick-off after the interval Truro went through and scored, our hopes rose. Unfortunately, Truro fell back too far under heavy pressure and did not allow themselves room to work. Architect of Glastonbury’s midfield superiority in this second half was left-half Spiring, a 90-minute player with a shrewd football brain. His long passes opened up the game and suddenly changed the direction of the attack to give the Truro defence many headaches. All the Truro players worked hard, but once again the brilliance of Peter Hoggett must be noted. He could not be blamed for the four goals, indeed, the score might have been higher but for his agility and pluck. The crowd were quick to respond, and as he left the field the crowd in the stand rose as one man to cheer him. Of the attack it must be said that there was a lack of punch in the centre, and Truro could have relieved the heavy pressure a little by making more use of the wings. But remembering that at least five of the Glastonbury players have had English League football experience, this was Truro’s best effort of the season, a display that will evoke little criticism. In the opening stages it seemed as if Glastonbury were going to inflict a heavy defeat on the City. For five minutes they stormed the City goal, but it was soon apparent that Glastonbury’s shooting was suspect. Their inability to take their chances and the goalkeeping of Hoggett helped Truro to weather the storm, and after 10 minutes it was their own turn, and Dunstone missed with a header from a Dunstan cross. Rew, the Glastonbury inside-left, soon showed himself as the danger man, and after 15 minutes he scored with a header from a beautiful Miles centre. But three minutes later Truro were on level terms. Dunstone, playing his first game for Truro, sent in a high shot from the touchline, and the dropping ball deceived Taylor. Until the interval there was a great deal of midfield play, with Glastonbury shooting more often. Hoggett brought off two outstanding saves, once when he grabbed the ball from Rew’s feet, and the second, four minutes from the interval, when he parried a pile-driver from Rew from only four yards. And so to Truro’s second goal which gave them the lead. Straight from the kick-off Truro went up the field, and Rapsey beautifully pushed the ball through for Dunstone to run on to, and he had beaten the goalkeeper almost before he could move. Two goals in his first game is a good debut for any ex-junior. It took Glastonbury 13 minutes to equalise. From among a melee of players Rew suddenly pulled the ball down with his foot from chest high as Hoggett went to grab it, and the ball was in the net. Four minutes later Rew got his “hat-trick.” Manning had beaten Hoggett to the ball which seemed destined for a goal-kick. But while Truro’s defence stood watching, Rew raced forward, caught up the ball by the goalpost, and casually flicked it into an empty net. It was nearly all Glastonbury now, and Hoggett saved well from Owen: a spectacular one to thwart Rew when it seemed impossible for him to reach the ball; and another from Owen. But five minutes from the end Rew got another. And it was Glastonbury’s best goal. Manning deftly headed back a cross from the wing to Rew’s feet, and the ball entered the net like a rocket.

Eleven Newton Abbot men left Truro on Saturday evening wondering just how they lost this game in the first half – a half laced with missed chances – Newton wove intricate patterns around a foot-dragging Truro side and their beautiful inter-passing system was as involved and as blue-printed as a set of knitting instructions. As the ball was pushed from man to man movements had the word “goal” written all over them. Although the saying “It’s goals that win games” has been trotted out more often than a milkman’s horse, spectators at Treyew-Road on Saturday were treated to the spectacle of Truro playing leisurely, hit-or-miss-soccer, defeat the speedy, methodical Newton side 5-3. This FA Cup preliminary struggle – the first time incidentally, that Truro have met a Devon side this season – produced 90 minutes of soccer fireworks, and it was rather a pity that the closing 10 minutes should have developed into a noisy fracas. The Newton machine went into action from the word “Go” and in the first minute Hoggett fell on the ball after it had struck the base of the upright and spun back into play. Completely on the offensive, Newton swept forward like a flood to open the scoring after two minutes. Left-winger Hamby centred for inside-left Heeson to shoot past the defence with Hoggett unsighted. Minutes later Fice headed into the City net, but was ruled offside. Although five more goals were scored before half-time, this was undoubtedly the half in which Newton failed to grasp their chances with both hands. Had they converted their precision approach work into goals they might have got half-a-dozen, but as it was Truro centre-forward Webber squeezed through their defence to put City on equal terms at half-time.

Crick made a welcome return to centre-forward position and received a great ovation before a game in which Newquay shone. They maintained the offensive throughout the first half with splendid displays of accurate, first-time passing, and showed the benefit of good tactical training. M. A. Slater improves on the right wing, and the rest of the team have only to retain their spirit, speed and skill to produce gratifying results this season. Bennett, even without his fist half hat-trick, showed form which has long been desirable. Newquay, after Crick’s successful penalty, pinned down Truro and built up a splendid lead of 6-0 by half-time. They relaxed somewhat in the second half and Truro had chances to try out their attack, but they scored only once. Hooper, Silk, Nancarrow and Liddington must be heart-breaking to opposing forwards, and Ford a menace with his long shots which often go home. Scorers for Newquay were: Crick, Slater (2), Bennett (3) and Foreman. Neal scored for Truro. Cornish Guardian

A game that went according to all the rules was the Truro City-Penzance game. Truro have not passed the first round stage for four years. On Saturday, Gerry Gazzard inspired Penzance to repeat their last season’s performance of knocking Truro out although they found it more difficult this time. It was a grand game of cup-tie football at Truro where Penzance, the better side, deserved their win, but had to fight hard to keep their lead in the closing stages. Truro City staged a valiant last-ditch assault but it was in vain – their shots were either saved by Cyril Trembath or blocked on the goal-line. Architect of this Penzance victory was Gerry Gazzard. Although still nursing a leg injury he was as fast as any man on the field and worked twice as hard as most. He scored a great goal himself and had a hand in the others scored by Lewis Richards (2) and Charlie Andrews. Truro were weak at centre-half and inside-forward. They conceded two goals in 17 minutes but with good goals by Graham Neal and Vince Dillon – a superb 35-yard drive – were on level terms just after the interval. Truro had the wind advantage, but in a spell of two minutes they conceded two goals. A goal by Noel Roberts heralded their fight back – but it was too late. West Briton & Cornwall Advertiser

Team – Mel Triggs (GK), Vince Dillon, Graham Neal, Reg Jenkins

After a rather poor first half, Truro came back with some first-class football to outplay Newquay in every department. They had an inspired second half, turning a one-goal deficit into a 3-1 victory. Truro’s early promise was not maintained in the first half and it was Newquay, the heavier side, who were the more impressive. With county wingers Pollard twins and a fine leader in Mike Sterne, the visitors always looked dangerous. Defence was quickly turned to attack by their long clearances down the middle and it was no surprise when Sterne went through to beat Triggs with a good shot late in the half. Truro’s defence became panicky and the visitors deserved to go further ahead, but Tony Pollard’s shot struck an upright. Then Truro played first-class football to equalise and take the lead 10 minutes after the interval. Inspired by their young leader, Reg Jenkins, they took command. It was Jenkins who brought the game back to life with a fine shot which beat goalkeeper Simler. Then he pushed through a pass which inside-right Graham Neal slammed home. A spell of loose kicking followed and Newquay again threatened the home goal. But the City settled the issue when right-winger Vince Dillon drove hard into the net. In the closing stages, Newquay were awarded a penalty but Triggs, who was in brilliant form, beat down the shot. Cornish Guardian

Four goals by Bideford in eight minutes in the second half proved a knock-out blow to Truro City, previously unbeaten this season. The scores were level at half-time, each side having scored once, and the game looked evenly balanced. Bideford, well on top in the opening stages, opened the scoring through Barnes, but within seven minutes Steer levelled the scores. The second half was 12 minutes old when Barnes put Bideford ahead, and four minutes later Higgins increased the lead. A minute later, Hearne made it 4-1 and almost immediately Sword got the ball in the Truro net again. Yet another minute later the score was 5-2. A shot from Steer hit the Bideford crossbar, came down, and rebounded from the goalkeeper’s chest into the net. Four minutes from time Hearne made an opening for Higgins to score a simple goal to make Bideford’s tally six. Cornish Guardian

Bideford were rather fortunate to force a draw at Truro. They were outplayed for three-quarters of the game and it was two quick goals a quarter of an hour from the end which put them level. Bideford’s goal had several narrow escapes before the City took the lead through Basil Steer, who scored from a free-kick at the second attempt. Colin Slade put Truro further ahead soon after the restart. Bideford fought back desperately, and against a tiring home defence, inside right Barnes scored off a post, and right half Colin Beer ran through from the half-way line for the equaliser.

Truro City were beaten – not unexpectedly – in their FA Cup first qualifying round replay at Bideford, on Thursday. They fought well, but could not master the Western League side which had the ground advantage. They lost 4-2 the game which need never have been played – Truro had outplayed their opponents last Saturday and gained a two-goal lead which they frittered away in the last quarter-of-an-hour.

Two goals in the last five minutes robbed Truro City of a replay of their FA Cup preliminary round match at Bideford. The Western League side trailing 3-2 at the interval swept through a tired defence and emerged 5-3 victors. Bideford were the better all-round side and they had far more of the ball than Truro. The visiting defence however played a great game and thwarted the Bideford attack for long periods. Bideford had many chances but wasted them through poor finishing. A defensive error led to Bideford taking an early lead through inside-right John Norman, their best forward. The City fought back and equalised after 17 minutes through centre-forward Basil Steer. Norman headed his side into the lead again, but Truro again retaliated and shook their opponents with goals from winger Colin Slade and right-half Peter Williams. Bideford equalised straight from the restart without a City player touching the ball and in the closing minutes Barnes and Munday settled the issue. West Briton & Cornwall Advertiser

1st Qualifying Round – Bideford (H) L 0-3 Sat 8 Sep

Team – Mel Triggs (GK), Alan Winn, Norman Morrison, Les Joyce, Harold Jefferies, Barry Matthews, Colin Slade, Mike Andrew, Keith Hawkey, Peter Williams, Mike Symons

Truro City gave a very off-form display, and the game generally was of a low standard. Bideford were fast and they were quick to exploit weaknesses in the City defence. Their first goal was a gift. A high lob from centre-forward Long deceived goalkeeper Triggs, who pulled the ball down but could not hold it. Centre-forward Keith Hawkey was unlucky not to equalise and near half-time Truro had the Bideford defence in trouble, but they could not score. Bideford went further ahead with a fine goal from inside-left Chappell from Long’s pass, and another error by Triggs – he called for a centre but failed to collect it – gave right-winger Munday an easy goal.

1st Qualifying Round – Falmouth Town (A) L 1-5 (Osborne 15) Sat 19 Sep

There was little to choose between the teams in the first half which produced two goals but after the interval Falmouth shook off their earlier indecision and played a brand of football which brought four goals. Inside-forward Osborne scored the best goal of the match to give Truro a 15-minute lead, but before half-time Ewings put Falmouth on level terms. Truro started the second half disastrously, conceding a penalty which Ashe converted, and within a minute dropping further into arrears as Ashe flicked home a finely-judged header. With Falmouth’s back four mastering Truro’s occasional breakaways, Falmouth took command, carrying their total to five through Anderson and visiting centre-half Dingle who turned a hard shot from Shrewbrook into his own net.

1st Qualifying Round – Falmouth Town (A) L 2-3 (Ellery x2) Sat 18 Sep

Truro, having one of their worst seasons in a long time, had unbeaten Falmouth on the run, but once again Falmouth proved their powers of recovery. Cool, accurate football earned Truro a 1-0 interval lead, and when Truro added another goal early in the second half it seemed likely the game would produce the surprise result of the day. It was two goals by leader Ellery which put Truro in such a commanding position. A fine 61st minute goal by Grogan sparked Falmouth’s revival and from then on they played non-stop attacking football. Gray levelled the scores during a goalmouth mix-up following a free-kick. With less than ten minutes to go Ashe scored the winner following an attack shared by Ewings and Etheridge. Cornish Guardian

Preliminary Round – Falmouth Town (H) W 1-0 (Salmon 89) Sat 2 Sep

A last-minute goal by Derek Salmon – his first for the club – gave Truro City the victory they deserved in their FA Cup preliminary round clash with Falmouth. This was Falmouth’s first defeat of the season, the City avenging a string of beatings by their old rivals in the last couple of seasons. Although this battle in energy-sapping conditions could have gone either way until Salmon got that vital goal following a free-kick, it was Truro who made most of the running. Early in each half Falmouth looked dangerous but they failed to master a defence in which the back four were so dominant that Trevor Salsbury had to make only three good saves in 90 minutes. As the City gained confidence, they broke quickly from defence and twice in the first half were unlucky when Jack Martin and Billy Boston hit the woodwork. Falmouth began the second period as if they would overrun their opponents, but they failed to break through and again Truro took command and made the better openings.

1st Qualifying Round – Newquay (H) W 2-1 (Boston 5, 85) Sat 16 Sep

It was a rough, tough battle at Truro, with the trainers in constant action. Newquay had Veale a passenger throughout the second half, and two men – Vic Salmon and Brian Philp – booked. Truro finished with no fewer than five men injured. Not surprisingly, the standard of play was poor. The City dominated the first half, but scored only once, Billy Boston finding the net with a left-foot drive in the fifth minute. Newquay equalised through Brain Philp in the 47th minute and later twice almost snatched the lead through Jumbo Osborne, Ernie Hooper taking the ball off his toes on each occasion. Five minutes from time, Boston scored again to give Truro victory, and Derek Salmon almost made it 3-1 in injury time when his drive hit an upright. West Briton & Cornwall Advertiser

Squad – Trevor Salsbury (GK), Brian Adams, Alan Morris, Terry Askey, Ernie Hooper, David Williams, Keith Morris, Brian Durkin, Jak Martin, Derek Salmon, John Wardle, Alan Bolton, Brian Rimes

After a scrappy start Bideford took a 19th-minute lead against Truro and never looked back. Growing confidence gave them command in midfield from which they built up attack after attack, using their wings to full advantage. Truro had chances when they staged a brief rally around half-time but they could not match their opponents’ finishing power. Jack Martin missed badly, and Billy Boston was unlucky when a screaming drive hit the bar. Whereas Bideford hit a purple patch after a poor run, the City had a bad day made even worse by the lack of effort of some players – Brian Rimes, Salsbury and substitute Brian Durkin excepted. Bideford led 5-0 at half-time, and added three more in the last eight minutes, Peter Druce, David Ainscough, John Gauntlett and Russell Petersen netted in the first period and later Gauntlett got a second and Petersen completed his hat-trick, the final goal coming from the penalty spot.

Manager – Steve Massey

Although under pressure from visiting Torrington for much of the time, Truro played with 100 per cent commitment to win through to an away tie against Beazer Homes Premier Division side Weymouth. The Devon club always looked dangerous and Truro survived some anxious moments thanks largely to great saves by Gammon. It was Truro who took the lead, however, with a fierce drive from right-back Chris Webb from fully 25 yards which flew into the top corner. Truro survived further strong attacks from Torrington and were still ahead at the interval. They scored again within two minutes and then produced some excellent football throughout the remainder of the half, the defence standing firm to deny Torrington a goal despite a series of free-kicks and corners.

2nd Qualifying Round – Weymouth (A) L 2-3 (Smith, Fallon)

Manager – Steve Massey

So near, yet so far. We almost made it. With a truly superb performance, City almost forced a replay against Beazer Homes League side Weymouth Town in this second qualifying round of the FA Cup. Apart from a short period when Weymouth scored twice, the lads gave as good as they got, not at all overawed by the occasion. We took the lead early in the game, when Paul Smith scored from fully 25 yards. There followed a period of fairly even play before Weymouth equalised after 30 minutes from a free header. Truro retaliated immediately, with Shaun Cooper shooting wide. Just before half-time, the home side took the lead. Barely in the second half, Weymouth seemed to have made the game safe, scoring following hesitation in the defence. However, City kept up the pressure and refused to lie down. Another 25 yarder, this time from Micky Fallon, reduced the lead to a single goal, to set up a tremendous last 20 minutes, during which time City came very close to forcing a replay.

Supersub Stewart Yetton kept City’s FA Cup dream alive as he grabbed a last gasp equaliser against Mangotsfield in the FA Cup third round qualifying tie at Treyew Road to stop the Cornish side making a shock exit. The City striker came off the bench at the start of the second half on Saturday to score a sensational goal in stoppage time to earn a replay and keep Sean McCarthy’s club in the competition and just one round short of the first round proper. The Division One South and West strugglers had looked set for a famous victory over the higher ranked Zamaretto Southern League Premier division side after a Dan Spill goal had put the visitors 1-0 up 12 minutes from time. City ‘keeper Martin Rice could only parry a long range effort from Geraint Bater and Spill was on hand to score from the rebound. Mangotsfield had a number of chances to put the game out of City’s reach in the second half as Daine O’Connor twice wasted good opportunities for the Bristol-based side. Loan signing Lee Hodges from Torquay made his debut for City in what can only be described as another lacklustre performance from the hosts. City’s performance gradually improved in the second half and man-of-the-match Yetton thought he had scored midway through the period, but his effort was disallowed because of a foul. However, in the dying seconds of the match, with City on the verge of crashing out of the tournament, substitute Yetton came to the rescue hitting a speculative shot from outside the area which beat goalkeeper Tony Court and found the far corner of the net securing a replay at Mangotsfield. It was hard luck on the visitors who had had the better of the play with City looking out of sorts and finding it difficult to break down the lower league opposition’s defence. If Truro City beat Mangotsfield in the replay they will play Forest Green Rovers at home in the fourth qualifying round on Saturday October 24, kick off 3pm. The Packet

Truro City manager Paul Wotton has hailed his side’s “dominant” display in beating National League South side Hungerford Town 4-0 in the FA Cup. Ed Palmer’s first-half goal at a windy Treyew Road was added to by Dan Rooney, Andrew Neal and Tyler Harvey. The win sees the Southern League side make the third qualifying round. “I thought we were worthy winners, and I very rarely say this, but I thought we dominated the game from start to finish.” Wotton told BBC Cornwall. “Today we were better than them in all departments.” Truro are unbeaten since the season began, having won two of their three Southern Premier Division South games and both of their FA Cup qualifying round ties. It is the first time Truro have progressed this far in the FA Cup since they went on to make the first round for the first time in their history in 2017. They are the last remaining Cornish side in the competition after Saltash United were beaten 3-1 by Hampshire-based Sholing. BBC Sport

Truro City boss Paul Wotton says his side did not deserve to progress in the FA Cup after Weston-Super-Mare won 2-0 in the second qualifying round. Rex Mannings gave the hosts a 15th-minute lead before Marlon Jackson got the second six minutes later. Weston had chances to increase their lead before the break, and while Truro improved in the second half they could not find a goal. “It’s a disappointing outcome,” Wotton told BBC Radio Cornwall. “The goals we conceded were poor first half and I thought we were off it. We went with every intention of winning the game, but when you find yourself 2-0 down at half time against a good team you’re going to struggle. The disappointing thing was that if we’d scored a goal and made it 2-1 I know it would have been a very different game. But at the end of the day I don’t think we deserved to go through, so you’ve just got to take your medicine.” BBC Sport

Truro City boss John Askey said his side “didn’t deserve anything” as they lost 2-0 at home to National League North side Brackley Town in the FA Cup. Connor Hall put Brackley ahead midway through the first half before getting a second in the 28th minute. Dan Lavercombe made two excellent saves to deny Hall a first-half hat-trick as the visitors saw out a victory that takes them one step closer to the first round proper. “We didn’t deserve anything today,” Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall. “Last week we came away feeling hard done by, but today we didn’t deserve anything. The first goal’s a mistake by ourselves which allows the opposition to then sit behind the ball. But all round we weren’t good enough today and it’s a disappointing performance. They’re a decent team.” he added. “They’ve got a lot of old pros who know how to see out a game – they got behind the ball and they did well. But physically we weren’t up to it today. I had made changes from the game previous and it was just to have a look at one or two players, but obviously that didn’t help us I don’t think, but we needed to do it.” BBC Sport

Truro City manager John Askey says his side’s missed chances are to blame after they were knocked out of the FA Cup on penalties by AFC Totton. National League South Totton won 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in their fourth round qualifying replay to book a first round tie at Macclesfield. The Tinners went behind when Tony Lee pounced on a defensive error to put Totton 1-0 up after 14 minutes. But Totton played most of the game with 10 men when former Torquay midfielder Joe Oastler was sent off for a second booking just before half-time. Truro levelled thanks to a Lirak Hasani header after an hour, but despite having chance after chance Truro failed to make a breakthrough in normal time, or 30 minutes of extra time. The tie went to penalties, with Truro defender Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain missing with the score in the shootout at 3-2 as the visitors went on to convert all five of their spot kicks. “We’ll never have a better opportunity to get into the first round,” Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall. “The goal that we gave away was a poor goal that gave them a lift, but after that, we’ve had loads of possession, 35 shots at goal, and it’s a game that we should win. We’ve missed absolute sitters – I’ve never seen a team miss so many chances. I don’t know what you do about that, we’re making good opportunities. First and foremost we shouldn’t give a goal away, that makes it hard, but there’s not a lot I can say after that.” BBC Sport
