Truro City match called off after Yassine En-Neyah taken to hospital

Truro City's trip to Folkestone Invicta on Saturday 7 November was postponed before kick-off after midfielder Yassine En-Neyah required medical assistance during the warm-up. The club confirmed he was taken by land ambulance to the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, where he stayed overnight under observation, adding that he was "stable, sitting up and chatting". Truro thanked their own medical staff and their counterparts at Folkestone, along with the ambulance service and hospital staff, and said both the National League and the Football Association had offered support.

The weekend's other headlines belonged to the FA Cup. Dover Athletic beat National League Wealdstone 2-0 at Crabble in front of 1,913, Jack Bates scoring twice in the first half, the second from around 25 yards. It took the midfielder to ten goals for the season, five of them in the competition. Salisbury also went through to the second round, beating Sholing at a sold-out Raymond McEnhill Stadium, where Nathan Odokonyero opened the scoring.

In the league on Saturday 7 November, Ebbsfleet United edged Chesham United 1-0 at the Morrow Stadium, a result Chesham's Michael Murray reflected on with some frustration. Weston-super-Mare beat Braintree Town 4-1 through a Luke Coulson double, Ollie Hulbert and Will Jenkins Davies; 16-year-old Billy Hook came off the bench in stoppage time. Slough Town claimed their first home league win of the campaign, 3-1 over Walton & Hersham, with Johnny Goddard's penalty followed by goals from Joe Morrison and Kyle Brooks.

Off the pitch, Maidstone's board confirmed outline terms have been agreed for the sale of a controlling interest, with due diligence under way. At Chesham, chairman's notes set out arrangements for the funeral of Roger Payne on Tuesday 10 November.
