Truro City go second after Chippenham Town win
Truro City moved up to second place in National League South after a 3-0 win at mid-table Chippenham Town.The Tinners, who are now on a four-game winning streak, have lost just once in their last 14 games and are a point behind leaders Worthing having played one extra match. Truro blew Chippenham away with three goals in a nine-minute period soon after half time. Top scorer Tyler Harvey gave Truro a 52nd-minute lead when he curled home a free kick from the edge of the box.He scored his 21st goal of the season two minutes later when he was first to react after Connor Riley-Lowe's shot had been saved by home goalkeeper Josey Casa-Grande. Luke Jephcott scored his third goal in four games soon after with a superb lob over Casa-Grande.City face relegation-battling Enfield Town and Salisbury City in their next two matches before travelling to mid-table Chelmsford City on 29 March and then going to leaders Worthing on 5 April. "I'm really pleased again," Truro manager John Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall. "I thought we were a little bit sloppy to start off with - could possibly have been 2-0 down if it wasn't for Dan Lavercombe who pulled off a couple of good saves, and some last minute tackles."But after the first 20 minute when we got to grips with how they were playing I thought there was only one team in it, especially in the second half."

Non-league manager is slapped with six-game ban after joking female referees 'need help parking' in controversial comment on a podcast
Dorking Wanderers manager Marc White has received a six-game touchline ban for a sexist comment made on a podcast. When discussing his disciplinary record on the Under The Cosh podcast, White said: 'More women refs now, so you have to pay a bit more respect, do you know what I mean? 'You have to pay a bit more respect, like help them park.' In May White, who also owns Dorking, was charged by the FA with using insulting or abusive words. The FA stated that White's comments were an aggravated breach of the rules because of the reference made to gender. Dorking confirmed that White will not be in the dugout for their first six games of the National League South season. A statement from Dorking read: "Following (intended fun) comments made on a podcast regarding women drivers, first team manager Marc White has received a six-game touchline suspension to be served from the beginning of the league season.' White made the comments prior to Dorking's 3-1 loss against Weston-super-Mare last season. In 1999 White founded Dorking with friends as an amateur team and initially played for the club. The 51-year-old has helped Dorking to secure 12 promotions in 23 years. White has overseen more than 1,000 matches in charge of Dorking. His side were beaten by Boreham Wood last season in the National League South play-of final.
