Harvey double keeps Truro City in title hunt

Tyler Harvey took his tally to 19 goals for the season

Truro City consolidated third place in National League South after a 3-2 win over 10-man Welling United.

Tinners' skipper Connor Riley-Lowe got his side off to the perfect start as he scored after just two minutes.

Dominic Johnson-Fisher and Tyler Harvey almost doubled the lead before Deon Moore levelled against the run of play after 32 minutes.

Welling's chances got slimmer when Dave Winfield was sent off for a second booking eight minutes after the interval and Truro top-scorer Harvey headed his side ahead with 20 minutes to go.

Harvey made it 3-1 15 minutes later as he blasted home from Andrew Neal's pass before Riccardo Di Trolio's stoppage-time goal set up a nervous finish.

But Truro held on to extend their unbeaten run to nine matches as they drew level with former leaders Dorking Wanderers and went a point behind new leaders Worthing,

"I think at the end we made it a little bit too much like hard work for ourselves," Truro City assistant manager Stewart Yetton told BBC Radio Cornwall.

"Conceding a goal at the end and then you invite a little bit of pressure, even with 10 men, but we saw the game out well.

"When you get to the last 10 games of the season it's just about getting three points on the board.

"There are a few things we know we could have done better and we spoke about that after, but all in all we'll take the positives of the three points."
