Truro City to play first home game in their historic National League campaign
The Tinners host their first first home clash of the campaign against York City today (16/8)
It's a huge day for the first Cornish team to reach the National League.
Truro City host their first first home clash of the campaign against York City later this evening (16 August)
The side currently sit 21st in the standings, after their 2-nil away defeat against Wealdstone F.C.
It all comes amid the captain Connor Riley-Lowe has receiving royal backing earlier this month, ahead of the Tinners’ history-making maiden National League campaign.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales sent the letter to Riley-Lowe via his private secretary, Ian Patrick MBE.
A keen football fan, the Prince, until last year, was President of the Football Association and now holds the title of patron at the governing body of the beautiful game in England.
“The Duke of Cornwall has asked me to write ahead of your home match against York on Saturday next week,” the letter began.
“The Duke knows that you have only just returned home after a few years away, and like everyone else in Cornwall, will be cheering you on.
“Prince William has asked me to pass on his warmest congratulations in getting promoted to the National League as Cornwall’s first professional team.
“This comes with the Duke of Cornwall’s very best wishes. Good luck to the Tinners.”
