Tonbridge are treating themselves to an overnight stay ahead of their away match against Truro on Saturday. Jay Saunders’ National League South side will set off tomorrow morning as they aim to maximise preparations by breaking up the 560-mile round journey.
Truro sit in the play-off positions in fourth and are on a four-game unbeaten league run, but ninth-placed Angels are only just outside the top seven themselves as they look to build on Tuesday’s 1-0 home win against Dorking Wanderers. “We’re looking forward to it,” said manager Saunders. “The club has been good enough to let us travel on Friday morning.
That’s quite new to us. We’ll prepare as best as we possibly can. “Hopefully, we will go there full of confidence after Tuesday’s game and get something.” For some in a young squad, the extra day of preparations will be a new experience.
Saunders admitted: “Your routine changes. It’s an experience. “A lot of these players want to go and be professional footballers.
