Slough Town lost 3–1 at Truro City on Tuesday night in Steve McKimm’s second match as manager, their second 3–1 defeat in a row, and remain bottom of the Enterprise National League South.

Brooks put Slough ahead in the 23rd minute. Truro then scored three times in 23 minutes in the second half, through Tweedy in the 52nd, Greenslade in the 54th and Harvey in the 75th. The crowd was 2,024.

McKimm made two changes, with Thomas and debutant Dennon Lewis replacing Quansah and Janneh, the club said. Janneh came on in the 60th minute, on his return to his former club, and hit the post in stoppage time. Captain Henry Ochieng came on in the 76th minute after returning to the squad following 381 days, and the club’s report said the goalkeeper, on loan from Barrow, came off his line and was beaten to the ball by Greenslade for the second goal.

Slough have four points from 14 games, with one win, one draw and 12 defeats. They have scored 14 goals and conceded 37, the most in the division. They are nine points from 20th place, where Braintree Town have 13. The bottom four are relegated, and only the champions are promoted automatically, with the clubs from second to seventh going into the play-offs.

On Friday 23 October the club announced an investment. The club said DH “will initially acquire a 25% shareholding in A23 Football Group”, with “further agreed acquisitions over the next two years” taking that to 50% and “ultimately to 70%”. It said the new money “will go straight into the playing budget”. Mike Lightfoot steps down, Talal Al Ajmi is chairman and Ashley Smith stays as chief executive. A supporters’ evening is planned for Thursday 19 November at 7pm at Arbour Park.

The club has also signed midfielder Munashe Sundire, 29, on a permanent deal after his release from Torquay United, as announced on 27 October. He was previously at Slough between June 2023 and February 2024, and has also played for Tamworth, Hemel Hempstead Town, Kettering Town and King’s Lynn.

Slough are at Maidstone United on Saturday 31 October at 3pm. Maidstone lost 3–1 at home to Ebbsfleet United on Tuesday and are third on 26 points, with eight wins from 14 league games. Slough host Walton & Hersham on Saturday 7 November, with Walton 23rd on eight points. The FA Trophy second round takes Slough to Didcot Town on Saturday 14 November.

Truro are second on 27 points, a point behind Ebbsfleet United. Walton lost 2–0 at home to Salisbury on Tuesday and are 23rd on eight.
