Truro City moved up to second place in National League South with a 3-0 win at mid-table Chippenham Town.

The Tinners, who are now on a four-game winning streak, have lost just once in their last 14 and are just a point behind leaders Worthing having played one extra match.

Truro blew Chippenham away with three goals in a nine-minute period soon after half-time.

Top scorer Tyler Harvey gave them a 52nd-minute lead when he curled home a free-kick from the edge of the box.

He added his 21st goal of the season two minutes later when he was first to react after Connor Riley-Lowe's shot had been saved by home goalkeeper Josey Casa-Grande.

Luke Jephcott scored his third goal in four games soon after with a superb lob over Casa-Grande.

City face relegation-battling Enfield Town and Salisbury City in their next two matches before travelling to mid-table Chelmsford City on 29 March and then Worthing on 5 April.

"I'm really pleased again," Truro manager John Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall.

"I thought we were a little bit sloppy to start off with - could possibly have been 2-0 down if it wasn't for Dan Lavercombe who pulled off a couple of good saves, and some last minute tackles.

"But after the first 20 minute when we got to grips with how they were playing I thought there was only one team in it, especially in the second half."
