Prince William Backs Truro City National League Debut

Prince William, the Duke of Cornwall and President of the Football Association, has sent a heartfelt letter of support to Truro City captain Connor Riley-Lowe as the club prepares for its historic first season in the National League. This marks Cornwall's first fully professional football team, promoted last April after returning home following nearly four years of playing outside the county while awaiting a new stadium. The Prince expressed his warm congratulations and noted that, like everyone in Cornwall, he would be cheering on the team, known as The Tinners, as they embark on this milestone. A keen football fan and avid Aston Villa supporter, Prince William's backing underscores the significance of Truro City's achievement in reaching the fifth tier of English football. The club's season begins with an away match against Wealdstone, followed by their first home game against York City, events eagerly anticipated by local supporters. Prince William's royal endorsement adds a special encouragement to this momentous occasion for Cornish football.
