Truro City's Treyew Road ground has passes the FA's ground grading test, allowing the club to rtain its membership in the Football Conference.

Delegates from the FA and the Football Conference spent the afternoon scrutinising the ground and facilities, as well as the administrative requirements.

Truro City, chairman Kevin Heaney, said: "The visitors were in awe of the improvements made, commenting that it looked like a different ground.

"Credit has to be given to the group of volunteers led by Chris Webb (vice chairman) in building, painting, cleaning and strimming over the past few weeks. "The ground has been buzzing with activity the last few days and I cannot say a big enough thank-you to all those who have given up their spare time to help the club in this way."

All improvements were passed and the inspectors also highly commended the medical facilities, saying they were some of the best they had seen. Kevin also paid tribute to the club officials who engineered and coordinated the whole review process, thus ensuring Truro City is regarded as having the highest quality pitch in the county.
