Yeovil Town climbed to 13th place in the league standings after a dramatic stoppage-time goal sealed a 1-0 victory over Truro City, confirming the Cornish club’s relegation to the National League South.
John Askey’s squad now sits 13 points adrift of 20th-placed Eastleigh, with just four matches remaining in the season. The Glovers’ late triumph highlights their resilience as they fight to climb the table.
Truro City mounted a spirited effort throughout the match. Harry Charsley missed a golden opportunity in the 28th minute, following a defensive slip by Joy Mukena that left him clear on goal, only to be denied by Yeovil’s goalkeeper Jed Ward.

At the other end, Yeovil’s Will Merry tested Truro keeper Aidan Stone twice—first with a strong shot in the 41st minute and then by setting up Aaron Jarvis just before the hour mark, both chances expertly saved by Stone.
Late in the game, Truro’s Max Kinsey nearly turned the tide with a powerful header that crashed against the crossbar. However, it was Merry’s magnificent solo effort deep into stoppage time that secured the win for Yeovil, while simultaneously condemning Truro City to an immediate drop back to the National League South.
