FIRST HALF There was one forced change for Wealdstone at Treyew Road – James Clark returned to replace suspended full-back Jake Sheppard. The Stones started quickly with an early chance for midfielder Simon Mensah in the third minute when he won the ball on the edge of the Truro box but fired over. 10 minutes later Truro left back Connor Riley- Lowe fired a free kick from the half-way line towards Jared Lewington who just tipped his header over the bar. Truro full-back Niall Thompson rushed forward down the right channel in the 26th minute only for Harvey1 45’ his first time shot to bobble on the surface before Smith2 59’, firing over the bar. Green 75’ Stones top scorer David Pratt received his first LINE-UP chance of the game five minutes before the break LINE-UP courtesy of a Ramarni Medford-Smith cross but Rivers Pratt headed off target.

Okimo Rowthorne The White Tigers won a free kick on the edge of Poku Herve Wealdstone’s 18-yard box which top scorer Tyler Allarakhia Harvey struck perfectly into the top corner to give Allen put Truro ahead on the stroke of half-time.

wealdstone made no mistake from the spot. Less than five minutes later Wealdstone were in-behind when Allarakhia played Colchester United loanee Eoin McKeown through on goal but his right-footed effort was saved by Rivers. Harvey grabbed himself a half-chance on the right hand side three minutes for Truro but fired wide of Jonathan North’s near post. Wealdstone dominated this phase of the half and the second goal fell to set-piece specialist Green in the 75th minute. McKeown’s cross from the left was cleared only as far as Green who shifted the ball onto his left foot on the edge of the box and curled a beautiful shot into Rivers’ top corner. Wealdstone turned to their defensive qualities before McKeown forced a save out of Rivers six minutes from time.
