    ...as they try to become the first Cornish side to reach the FA Cup first round since Falmouth back in the 60s or 70s.These days they're managed by former Gashead Lee Hodges, they're unbeaten in nine games and they're top of their league.

    Hampton & Richmond, another side in good form. They drew 1-1 in the league last Saturday. I expect whoever can keep 11 players on the field will win.

    Well, they won 2-0 becoming the first Cornish side to reach the first round for nearly 50 years.

    I bet we draw them and they beat us. We have been knocked out the last 2 seasons by non league teams.

    Draw is 7.10pm tomorrow and we are ball 7. Its on BT sports and BBC 2.

    Probably less of a banana skin than a non league side.

    Good draw for Truro v Charlton. Hope they do better than we did !

    At least we wont get knocked out by a non league side again. Instead the league 2 leaders will do the job!

    They were talking to Bath City supporters on the news tonight asking them who they would like if the won their replay and they either wanted Swindon or Yeovil so they obviously think we have improved since pre season
    Maybe we are due a cup run CJS well we can dream cant we Notts County Truro Man City Arsenal Man Utd Chelsea and after that we should be in the Euro Cup now wouldn't that be something to write home about
