How about please helping out CORNISH SOCCER by telling me what you really want

Late, late equaliser from skipper Jake Ash

Truro City 1, Banbury Utd 1

A stoppage time goal from Truro skipper Jake Ash saved a point for City.

City had fallen behind just before half time when the visitors lively striker David Stone notched his 12th goal of the season.

Despite Andy Watkins and Scott Walker both hitting the bar in the second-half, it looked as if they were heading for defeat until Ash shot low towards goal and thankfully linesman Darren Thompson waved to signal the ball had crossed the line despite goalkeeper Joe Murrell attempts to keep the ball out.

City boss Steve Thompson gave new signing Marvin Brown his first start up front. He played a lone striker with Andy Watkins wide on the left and Les Afful out on the right in a five man midfield.

Truro: Rice; McConnell, Ash (capt), Pugh, Watts (Walker 59); Afful, Taylor, Pelecaci (Tooze 75), Adams, Watkins; Brown (Yetton 75). Subs (not used): Martin, Broad.

Attendance: 452.

The midfield man scored twice in three minutes just before half time, after another ex-Liskeard player, Lewis Reed, opened the scoring.

Liskeard gave a debut in midfield to former St Blazey hard man Danny Bance.
Town’s other goals came from Mark Berry, in the 65th minute and substitute Luke Hodge completed the scoring.

Newquay 1, Perranporth 1
NEWQUAY had to settle for a point against a ten-man Perranporth who fought back to a share a point at Mount Wise.
Rob Stapleton was sent off in the 35th minute for a professional foul and from the resulting penalty Scott Palmer scored, but only after Dan Burrows had saved the spot kick.
Within four minutes of the home side’s goal, the visitors were level through Kayne Trevaskis who took the ball around the Peppermints' goalkeeper Ryan Barnes to tap into an empty net.
