What was his 1st for? He seemed to be taken out, won a free kick and was then booked when off the pitch
The ref indicated that during that Thomas gesticulated that the Yeovil player should be booked in the above incident which is why he got the first yellow

Hats off to the stewards and other volunteers who helped fork the pitch and of course to Julian Gouldthorpe who managed to get the pitch playable despite the relentless rain.

Thought we shaded the first half with 6 attempts and three on target but Truro had two good attempts themselves, both well saved by Hamon. But second half we were second best for much of the time, Truro had by far the better chances and we only created three, one of which was a solo effort by Jordan Young for a great match-winning goal. But Hamon had to make several good and two outstanding saves, one of which rattled the bar, to secure the three points. Well done the defence, particularly Jordan Dyer who I thought had his best game for us. He had to be good to make up for Sam Dreyer who, in contrast, had an unusually poor game against lively opposition and was fortunate not to pick up two yellows. That privilege went to Jordan Thomas who showed a distinct lack of maturity to almost give the game away. So it basically was a game of three Jordans but it still left James Hamon to get my vote as MOTM. Cracking attendance and at least one spectator will go home extra happy and £2,730 better off!
Fair assessment of the game.... Although when they hit the crossbar it didnt really matter as the player was offside...
Congrats on winning the half-time draw! :clap:

Well having watched the Highlights numerous times despite being at the Match I have to say the goal from Jordan Young was extra special.

He is one of those players who enjoys running with the ball and when he finally saw the small gap just inside the post he scored with such a clean strike. Brilliantly done Jordan Number 1!!

With 3 Jordans in the Team I wonder what their nicknames are?

The goal celebration, I think every player bar the Keeper joined in, was very like Newcastle United, and shows this is a very tight knit group who all play for one another. Well done guys such a crucial win before a huge crowd. Exciting times at Plainmoor.
