3pm 18 April 2025 National League, South Truro City 0 Torquay United 1 (att 3,306) The Good Friday fixture list provides limited options for new grounds these days, so it was some months ago that I settled on a visit to Truro City's new stadium. It was just as well I decided early, as tickets for the visit of Torquay sold out well in advance. It was not just a local derby, or at least as local a derby as a Cornish team at this level can get, but it was also a crucial game in the battle for promotion. Truro went into the game top on goal difference, just three points clear of fourth placed Torquay, on a day when the teams in second and third were also playing each other. By the final whistle Torquay had narrowed the gap to the leaders to a point, and those leaders were now Worthing, with Truro's defeat seeing them drop a place. Just two points separate the top five.
