ASSISTANT boss Stewart Yetton felt his Truro City side’s 0-0 draw with Tamworth on Saturday ‘was a fair result’.

It extends the Tinners’ unbeaten run to three National League matches here in the Duchy, while Aidan Stone completed a consecutive hat-trick of clean sheets for Yetton’s charges.

In a match short on significant attacking moments for either side, Tyler Harvey had City’s best opportunities while at the other end, Jordan Ponticilli’s header was tipped onto the crossbar by Stone.

City were also forced to cling on in the final 10 minutes as they were reduced to 10-men when Will Dean was sent off for clashing with Tamworth's Spanish midfielder Stefan Mols.

“Before the game, we felt it was a good opportunity to pick up points, but the way the game panned out a point was a fair result - especially with the red card,” Yetton said at full-time. “Potentially it could be viewed as an opportunity missed, but fair for both sides overall.

“Looking for positives we have kept another clean sheet and as the gaffer said at the end, it is something to build on and you are always in the game if you keep clean sheets.”

Dean’s red card, the first shown to a home player since the Truro City Stadium opened in August 2024, was the correct decision according to Yetton.

The former Exeter City midfielder grappled with Mols in the six-yard box and appeared to catch him with an elbow. Although Mols made the most of minimal contact, referee Elliott Swallow reached for his top pocket and sent Dean for an early bath, with eight minutes of normal time remaining.

“It was a red card and we will deal with that,” Yetton added. “It is not acceptable and put us under pressure in the last 10 minutes, but the boys did magnificently to see things out at the end.”
