Askey hails 'resilient' Truro after late victory

Jaze Kabia's late winner secured a fourth win in five games for Truro City

Truro City manager John Askey says the late 2-1 win over Tonbridge Angels demonstrated how resilient his side are.

Tyler Harvey had given the Tinners a 40th-minute lead from the penalty spot, only for Crossley Lema to equalise for the Kent side six minutes after the break.

But substitute Jaze Kabia broke away in the third minute of stoppage time before calmly slotting home the winner.

The three points moved Truro up to third place in National League South, just a point off leaders Weston-super-Mare and second-placed Farnborough.

City are now unbeaten in five games - winning four and drawing 1-1 at Farnborough on Tuesday despite being reduced to nine men.

"Considering we played with nine men on Tuesday, to get a result again on Saturday and do it last minute just shows how resilient they are," Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall.

"It was a really good goal that we scored at the end and it's just really pleasing to send everybody home happy."

He added: "We looked solid. I was disappointed with the goal that we conceded, it should had been defended better.

"But overall again with everything taken into consideration it was another good team performance."
