Truro stay fourth after fightback win at Braintree Town

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 13:13 · Archive

Truro City came from behind to beat Braintree Town 2-1 in National League South. Courtney Senior fired the hosts ahead in the eighth minute, but Truro equalised when Max Kinsey headed home from Luke Jephcott's corner in the 21st minute. Will Dean then gave City the lead early in the second half, nodding in from another Jephcott set piece after a mistake by Braintree goalkeeper Ben Hughes.

Assistant manager Stewart Yetton said Truro deserved to win. "I think we were good value for the win," he told BBC Radio Cornwall. "I think that's the most important thing. We had enough chances I think, first half, to probably be a couple more ahead." He added that the match became scrappy towards the end as Braintree resorted to fouls to disrupt Truro's play.

The victory was Truro's second win in three games. BBC Cornwall reports they stay fourth in the division, one point off league leaders Maidstone United. CornwallLive states they are level on points with Salisbury and Billericay Town but fourth on goal difference, with the top seven teams separated by just four points after eleven games. Truro play former National League rivals Sutton United in the FA Cup next.
