National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Taunton Town or Truro City that keep their silverware dream alive.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Truro City form and stats
Truro City's mission in Fa Trophy last season failed in the 1st round qualifying replays.The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Truro, who have now gone twelve games without a victory. The Oxford City game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. It's three draws from Truro's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Truro City play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-4 to Taunton Town. That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Hungerford Town in the FA Cup.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Truro, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
