Chelmsford City v Truro City, National League South, EMJ Community Stadium, Saturday 29th March 2025, 3:00pm kick-off.
Chelmsford City take on title-chasing Truro City at the EMJ Community Stadium this weekend.
City come into the match on the back of consecutive losses in the National League South and will hope to use their final game of the penultimate month of the season to get back to winning ways.
Promotion-chasing Truro City will be aiming to go home from Essex sitting at the top of the league standings should results go their way again. Table-toppers Worthing lost their game in hand on the Tinners earlier this week, leaving them just one point ahead of John Askey’s second-placed side.
Here’s all that Clarets supporters need to know ahead of the game…
Team and match stats:
- Askey’s men have lost just three league games in 2025 – all three of these defeats have come on the road.
- Truro are looking to earn their third consecutive win at the EMJ Community Stadium.
- The Clarets have had a player sent off in each of their last two home games against the Tinners.
Watch the highlights of our last home win over Truro, which was at the beginning of the 2017-18 season.
Opposition:
John Askey’s team have had a sensational 2024-25 season, which they are hoping will culminate in Truro’s second promotion in two years.
The Tinners returned to the National League South in 2023 following a four-year absence from the sixth tier. After achieving survival in their first season back in Step Two, Askey has built on the club’s recent success since his arrival last year.
Under the former York City and Port Vale manager’s guidance, Truro have made themselves promotion contenders ever since the beginning of the season. They have only strengthened their title aspirations this month after winning five of the six National League South games they have played so far in March, leaving them sitting 2nd in the table and one point off the summit.
Forward Tyler Harvey has been a key cog in Truro’s title push going from strength-to-strength throughout this season and in the month of March. The 29-year-old is the division’s joint-highest goal scorer and has found the back of the net eight times so far this month. Harvey will hope to cap off his productive March by continuing his strong goalscoring form against Chelmsford City. He has netted in both of his last two appearances against the Clarets, including a brace in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
Team News:
Following discussions ahead of next season, forward Jordan Greenidge has departed the club.
Similarly, winger Kalvin Kalala has also left the EMJ Community Stadium after completing a permanent move to Carshalton Athletic.
Freddie Hockey is pushing to make a return to action following a four-month injury layoff.
Academy forward Taylor Legg will be hoping for further minutes after making his senior Chelmsford City debut during last week’s defeat to Tonbridge Angels.
