Truro City leave it late to earn Weston point

Billy Palfrey's equaliser was his first Truro City goal of the season

Truro City assistant manager Stewart Yetton has praised his side's fitness as they scored a stoppage time goal to earn a 1-1 draw with Weston-super-Mare.

Reuben Reid had given Weston a 35th-minute lead despite Truro being unhappy with what they felt was a handball in the build up.

City had a first-half penalty appeal turned down and twice went close through Jaze Kabia before Billy Palfrey equalised in the third minute of stoppage time.

The point sees the Tinners drop from second place to fourth in National League South, two points off leaders Torquay United who they host on New Year's Day.

"The boys work really hard at training and away from the football club, and I think it shows," Yetton told BBC Radio Cornwall.

"We've scored so many late goals now, so that's a testament to them and their attitude to never say never and get things at the end of games."

He added: "We certainly felt we deserved something from the game.

"I don't think Dan Lavercombe was tested too much - we're very disappointed with the goal because we were attacking, there's a blatant handball from their lad and the referee waves play on."
