National League Cup win boosts Truro City - Askey
Luke Jephcott and Tyler Love-Holmes were both on target for Truro City

Truro City manager John Askey says the 3-2 win over Southampton's academy side in the National League Cup has given his side a boost.
Tyler Love-Homes gave Truro an seventh-minute lead before the defender scored an own goal 13 minutes later.
Luke Jephcott put the Tinners ahead again shortly before half time, but Will Armitage levelled with 20 minutes to go, only for Dominic Johnson-Fisher to get the winner.
The match was a first competitive game at home this season for Truro, who will host York City in their first National League game at the Truro Community Stadium on Saturday.
"I'm really pleased that we've entered the competition," Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall.
"It's a little bit of history for the football club, playing the likes of Southampton, and it couldn't have gone any better really.
"It's been a really good run-out for players that had not played, and to come away with a win is really pleasing because every time you play obviously you want to win and I think we deserved to get the win as well."
