Brackley Town 4-3 Truro City
Truro City fell to a narrow away defeat in a seven goal thriller against Brackley Town, despite taking an early lead on Tuesday evening.
Things started well for the White Tigers when former Manchester United trainee Andy Taylor slotted home within eight minutes.
The home side hit back with two goals from Owen Storey in quick succession at St James Park.
The two teams went into half-time level, however, when Aaron Pugh equalised before the break.
The game looked to be heading towards a draw but Truro suffered late heartbreak. Tom Winters caused discontent for visiting fans, scoring twice to win the match for Brackley.
Stewart Yetton, Truro's top scorer for the last four seasons, netted a late consolation goal.
The defeat leaves them 13th in the Zamaretto Premier League, 12 points adrift of the play-off places, they face Leamington at home on Saturday.
