Truro City enjoy Away-Day

Hard fought victory

It was another 3 points on the road for the White Tigers as we picked up a hard-fought 2-3 victory over Dorchester Town.

After beating Met Police 4-0 last time out, City wanted to keep that momentum alive and they started brightly. The in-form Will Swan was off celebrating inside 7 minutes as the Nottingham Forest loanee finished off a lovely move involving Ryan Law to open the scoring.

Mere moments later City should have had a second. Ryan Law again sends an inviting cross in which was met by Alex Battle who headed the ball into the crossbar.

Chances for Palmer and Battle followed before Jamie Richards headed a Dickson corner goalwards but was denied by a great close-range save.

It didn’t take long in the second half to get that deserved second goal. Niall Thompson headed the ball down to Will Dean who hammered a goal of the year contender into the top corner past a helpless goalkeeper to double our advantage.

The home side managed to pull one back through Sean Wright who hit a powerful shot that proved to strong for James Hamon to make it 1-2. Truro responded perfectly as Thompson again with the assist as he drove down the wing and fizzed a ball into Dan Rooney who had the simple task of tapping home.

The home side did get another goal through Tom Bath after a rare defensive mistake from City, to make things interesting. Hamon was then forced into a superb save to deny Bath before substitute Harrison Davis struck the post.

That wasted chance didn’t come back to haunt us as we managed to hold on to claim an important 3 points on the road.
