Truro City never allowed Cirencester Town a foothold in this FA Cup tie, racing into an early lead through Ben Starkie inside eight minutes and never looking back. The home side dominated territory and possession throughout, racking up 73% of the ball and 24 shots to Cirencester's three, a gulf reflected in the 50 to 11 dangerous attacks split. Tyler Harvey doubled the advantage before half-time following sustained corner-kick pressure, and Truro added further gloss after the break as Starkie claimed his second and Harvey Greenslade wrapped things up in a four-minute spell late on. For Cirencester, who managed not a single shot on target all afternoon, this was a sobering reminder of the gap in quality, while Truro march into the next round with their cup credentials and momentum firmly intact.
