1999-2000 South Western League

1 – Tavistock (H) L 0-1 Ross Cairns debut – Danny Carveth debut – Rodney Gregory debut – Justin Miles debut – Matt Moore debut Sat 21 Aug

Team – Danny Carveth (GK), Steve Allen, Justin Miles, Rob Troon, Dean Harris, Matt Moore, Darren Burchell, Steve Bayley, Appleby, Ross Cairns, Steve Wherry

Subs Used – Rodney Gregory, Justin Andrew, Brian Fisher

Truro City, who fielded a virtually unrecognisable team compared to last year, went down to a last minute strike from Tavistock’s Danny McTighe, a former player at the club. West Briton & Cornwall Advertiser

2 – Bodmin Town (A) L 0-4 Steve Allen sent off

For the opening 35 minutes Truro matched their talented opponents at Priory Park in midweek, but once a defensive mix-up allowed the home side to take the lead their hopes evaporated. They conceded two more goals before the interval plus another after the break and to make matters worse had defender Steve Allen sent off for some out of place comments to referee Martin Ault.

3 – Penzance (H) D 2-2 (Wherry 47, Mather 75 OG) Sat 28 Aug

Assist – Allen 47

Trailing 2-0 at half time and facing a third straight league defeat on Saturday, Truro showed the spirit they will need to see them through a difficult season to come back and earn their first point. After defeats against Tavistock and Bodmin it looked ominous for Truro as the visitors were the better side in the opening half. John Simpson gave Penzance the lead midway through the half and James Vercesi made it 2-0 just before half time as City’s defence again looked uncertain at times. The new-look City side, though, refused to surrender and came out at half time determined to get back into the match. They had the perfect start when Steve Allen crossed for Steve Wherry to score from six yards what was City’s first goal of the season. Encouraged by such a good start Truro pressed for an equaliser and applied plenty of pressure before finally getting back on level terms from a rather unlikely source 15 minutes from time. It was scored by the Magpies Chris Mather, who in trying to clear the ball only succeeded in heading it past his own keeper, former Truro number 1 Dennis Annear. City could even have won the game but after their first half display were glad to settle for a share of the spoils and a welcome point. West Briton & Cornwall Advertiser

4 – St Austell (H) W 3-0 (D. Smith, Stevens, Gregory) Tue 31 Aug

A splendidly committed performance gave Truro a thoroughly deserved first league win of the season before a good crowd at Treyew Road on Tuesday evening. City were on top almost throughout and they should really have been ahead by half time after missing several good openings. But midway through the second half they at last broke the deadlock when Danny Smith found the bottom corner of the net with a good shot from the edge of the area. Skipper Damian Stevens quickly made it 2-0 when he rounded the keeper before calmly finding the net. Their third came when substitute Rodney Gregory scored from 15 yards to wrap up a crucial three points. The result will be a massive boost for player-manager Chris Webb and his young squad for the difficult season which undoubtedly lies ahead. Webb started Tuesday’s game in the centre of midfield, but a hamstring injury to defender Steve Allen forced a reshuffle, with striker Justin Andrew coming on to partner Stevens in attack with Steve Wherry dropping back to the centre of midfield.

City are lurching from one disappointment to the next. Saturday’s defeat – their sixth in seven games – would have been particularly hard to swallow given the dramatic way in which they surrendered three points. Leading 2-1 with just three minutes to go, they were dealt two painful body blows that leaves them with just 11 points from 13 league games. City began brightly enough and after 14 minutes youngster James Miller shot wide of Dave Wilton’s right hand post. Newquay’s defending was appalling in the opening half an hour, and City twice exploited the wealth of space in and around the penalty area. After 17 minutes they failed to clear and the ball found its way to Steve Wherry’s feet in the area. He squirted the ball into the path of Miller and this time the home debutant made no mistake to give City the lead. Ten minutes later captain Damian Stevens found himself in oceans of space in the area, and he finished in fine style with a thumping shot into the bottom right hand corner. Newquay had offered little in the way of attack, but any cohesive passing was absent from both teams as the wind played its part in a scrappy first half. The visitors reduced the arrears seven minutes before the break. City centre half Steve Bayley misjudged a clearance from Martin Lentern, enabling Mike Pearce to race clear and shoot past new City keeper Jonathan Parsons. Leon Massey should have levelled for the visitors after an excellent one two move between Pearce and Conrad Robins gave him a clear sight of goal. Then Miller had a more difficult chance at the other end which was saved by the impressive Wilton. Goalmouth action in the second period was almost as rare. Both teams struggled to assume control and the final ball was squandered all too often. Changes were made by City boss Chris Webb. Anthony Woods replaced Darren Burchell and Rob Robinson came on for Wherry, and both players spruced up their attacking play. It was Robinson who galloped to the by-line and pulled the ball back for Stevens, who contrived to miss an open goal from just six yards out with just five minutes left. It was a dreadful miss, and one that was to prove disastrous when Newquay skipper Sam McCune equalised two minutes later with a close range header. Worse was to follow. Visiting full back Jodie Dean, who had a fine game at right-back, burst forward and was hauled down by Dean Harris 10 yards out. Dean continued into the penalty area and provided a late winner for the visitors when he headed home Sheridan Setton’s free-kick. Parsons who had been clattered in the first half should have claimed the floated free-kick but instead chose to stay on his line, and Dean took full advantage to give Newquay the points and leap-frog City in the league table.
