'Professional' Truro impress in win over Slough
Truro City assistant manager Stewart Yetton has praised the "professional" manner of his side's 2-0 win over Slough Town in National League South.The Tinners moved up to fifth in the table with the victory and are six points off leaders Dorking Wanderers with two games in hand.Skipper Connor Riley-Lowe opened the scoring in the sixth minute as he got on the end of a flick-on from Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain. Truro had chances to increase their lead and finally took one when Oxlade-Chamberlain headed in the second goal 14 minutes from full-time. "It was a professional performance to go on and get the second goal," Yetton told BBC Radio Cornwall. "It probably should have been a bit more comfortable than it was."We probably missed three or four really good opportunities to kill the game, to put it to bed really early."But I'm pleased with the lads, I can't remember the lads having too much to do other than maybe a save in the first half."It felt fairly comfortable and on a different day we'd maybe score four or five."

All There Is To Know About Love Island's Dejon Noel-Williams, Including His Famous Dad's Advice
Love Island might have only started on 9 June, but some of the characters have already made themselves at home in the Majorcan villa. One of which is Dejon Noel-Williams who is not only one of the biggest personalities on the show so far, but he is also one of the biggest heartbreakers. He has been coupled up with Meg Moore since the beginning, but has a penchant for flirting with the new bombshells, much to Meg's dismay. In fact, last week he was at the centre of a showdown between Meg and new girl Malisha (who has already left) because Malisha took Dejon on a date. Earlier this week, Dejon was picked to go to The Sleepover, a new house outside the main villa, by the two new girls and Meg was shown another video of him having a little too much fun over there. As he prepares to return to the main villa tonight, he's bound to face plenty of drama. Here's everything you need to know about Dejon, from his famous father to his career as a semi-pro footballer. Dejon is a fitness fanatic and footballer hoping to find love in the villa this summer. So far he has been coupled up with Meg, but it's only been two weeks so all that stands to change. If you've noticed his ripped body as he struts around the pool, it's courtesy of his gym obsession. Dejon recently completed a Hyrox, just like new boy Will Means, so perhaps they can strike up a friendship (or a training schedule). Dejon works as a semi-pro footballer and personal trainer. One of his recent clients is none other than Tyrique Hyde from Love Island season 10. Dejon has also played football for a number of teams including Oxford United and Slough Town as well as the national team of Grenada. Dejon is one of this year's nepo babies as his dad Gifton Noel-Williams is a former professional footballer. Speaking about growing up around the game, he said: 'I've met all kinds of famous people through [my dad]. When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we'd go to a game and fans were asking for photos. I've met David Beckham, he was really nice.' Dejon also told Hello! his dad supported his decision to go on Love Island and is behind him all the way. 'He's like my best friend, so he was happy with it. He knows me, he knows my heart. So he has nothing to worry about. He said: 'Just be yourself.' On Love Island, Dejon is looking for 'someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy'. Of course, we're yet to come across an islander who doesn't. You can follow him on Instagram at @dejonnoelwilliams. If you're looking to find more than fitness videos and sports brand promotions, you might be a tad disappointed. Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX Nikki Peach is a writer at Grazia UK, working across entertainment, TV and news. She has also written for the i, i-D and the New Statesman Media Group and covers all things pop culture for Grazia (treating high and lowbrow with equal respect).
