Truro City are into the first round of the FA Trophy for the first time in their history after beating Gloucester City on Tuesday.

The Tigers scored the only goal of the game after 28 minutes, when Arran Pugh headed home a Lee Hodges' free-kick.

Truro boss Sean McCarthy told BBC Cornwall: "I think it's fantastic for the club, but we need to put that to bed now and concentrate on the league."

McCarthy said he was impressed in the way his side dealt with bad conditions.

"It was very difficult for the players but they were solid to be fair," he added.

"Even though the conditions were as they were, everyone could see that we did try to get the ball down and pass it.

"In the second-half we were (playing) into a gale force wind, but although the conditions were difficult we still tried to play."

Truro now face Chelmsford in the first round of the FA Trophy on 12 December.
