When you’re exiled in Cornwall part of the week, it’s always good to get in a match. Last night it was Truro v Chippenham and next Tuesday – with a decent wind behind me – it’s Truro v Salisbury (currently first and second in the Southern Premier). The wind was certainly present last night and it was bloody cold. I shall mark it as the official start of the footballing winter.
Talk about Truro being an ex-Torquay United XI, they look more like an ex-Exeter City XI to me as I counted at least nine players in the squad with that unfortunate association. Admittedly, a few of these also have Plainmoor connections including Les Afful (who scored with a header last night: three foot off the ground and about a yard in front of goal) and Martin Rice (not always commanding even though he kept a clean sheet) who has just regained his place from a young lad called Tom Brooks.
Truro’s programme says that both Tom Brooks and centre-back Aaran Pugh hail from Torquay – anybody know if that’s the case? Pugh certainly used to play at Dawlish.
Other points of interest – Joe Broad still going strong in midfield; Steve Adams now playing at centre-back; Dan Smith on the left flank (who gave his current manager, Lee Hodges, the runabout that night at Eastbourne when we lost 4-2).
Oh yes, Marvin Brown was playing for Chippenham who were eventually stuffed good and proper by 5-0.
