Truro stay fourth with two games in hand, as Yassine En-Neyah thanks supporters from hospital

Wednesday 11 November 2026 · By Lionel Warnham

Truro City remain fourth in the National League South, with two games in hand, after another week without a league fixture. Their postponed match at Folkestone Invicta, called off before kick-off on 7 November, still has no new date. On 9 November the BBC published a statement from Yassine En-Neyah, thanking medical staff, team-mates and supporters, and reported that he had remained at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford. Nothing is added here about the cause of his collapse in the warm-up or about a return date. The clubs’ earlier wording, that he was stable, sitting up and chatting, still stands until a newer club update is found. Both clubs had said the Folkestone match was postponed before kick-off.

John Askey’s side have 30 points from 14 matches, five behind Ebbsfleet United, who have played 16, and one behind Salisbury, who have played 15. They have four straight league wins and are unbeaten in six, a sequence running from 26 September and including a 3–0 home win over Ebbsfleet on 31 October, the leaders’ only league defeat. The BBC form line is WDWWWW.

Saturday takes them to Bath City in the FA Trophy second round. They then host seventh-placed Billericay Town at 7.45pm on Tuesday 17 November and host 20th-placed Hemel Hempstead Town on 21 November, two home league games that will start to use those matches in hand. Billericay have 26 points from 14 matches and hold the last play-off place, one point ahead of Chelmsford City.

First place is promoted automatically, and second to seventh contest the play-offs. Maidstone United are second on 32 and Salisbury third on 31, so Truro remain firmly in the promotion conversation if the outstanding fixtures can be scheduled and won. An earlier National League Cup result involving Truro still lacks a second source in this week’s material and is not stated here as fact.

No first-team league or Trophy game is scheduled today. The BBC table was last updated at 07:36 on 11 November.
