Southend United 1-1 Truro City

National League

Southend United 1 - 1 Truro City FT

Charley Kendall cancelled out Rekeil Pyke's opener to salvage a point for play-off chasing Southend against bottom side Truro in the National League.

Pyke opened the scoring with a patient finish two minutes after the half hour, while Tinners goalkeeper Aidan Stone denied Andy Dallas a late first-half equaliser and George Cooper cleared the follow-up off the line.

The Shrimpers failed to finish from a few early second-half chances before Kendall finally drew the sides level in the 52nd minute.

Harry Boyes nearly fired the hosts in front when his effort bounced off a post, the goal frame also denied Southend's Gus Scott-Morriss, and there was a big Stone save late on to ensure the sides would share the points.
