The Match

It is first hosting third in National League South as City travel to Woodside to face league leaders Worthing.

The Rebels are currently three points ahead of John Askey’s side, after a 2-0 home win over struggling Hampton & Richmond last time out.

Truro, meanwhile, were held to a 0-0 draw by 10-man Chelmsford. The Tinners had the lion’s share of possession and chances, especially in the second half, after Chelmsford lost Arthur Penney to a straight red card for bringing down Jaze Kabia.

City had further penalty claims involving Kabia and Yassine En-Neyah waved away  by referee Matthew Norton, before late chances came and went for substitute Tylor Love-Holmes and Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain.

In Opposition

Worthing look down on the rest currently, with five games to go in English football’s most enthralling title race.

With Dorking, Truro, Torquay and Eastbourne breathing down the necks of the Rebels, the West Sussex outfit could have been left with one hand on the title, had they not slipped to shock defeats at both Hornchurch and relegation threatened Welling United.

But the Mackerel Men bounced back in fine style to defeat Hampton & Richmond, although initially they made heavy weather in overcoming the Beavers.

Danny Cashman’s 66th minute penalty settled any home nerves, with the win secured late on through Joel Colbran.

City were 5-0 winners the last time the two sides met. Goals from Seidou Sanogo, Will Dean and a Jaze Kabia saw the Tinners defeat the 10-man Rebels.
