I decided to bite the bullet and set off for a journey and a half to Dorchester. This is a ground I had been putting off for ages simply because of the travel involved.
When I set off in the morning though there was a chance of a double as Hallen had a 7.30pm kick off, which was ideal as it was on my way back home, but sadly that was called off around 2pm.
However come the end of the day I was so happy that I finally made the journey as The Avenue is a smart ground, the game was good and I have now finally finished off the Conference South!
Dorchester's Avenue ground was opened in 1990 and is actually on land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, ie Prince Charles, who had a say in the design of the ground. To be fair, for a new build ground it is aesthetically pleasing on the eye. The main stand is all seated with the rest of the ground being terracing.
Truro were the visitors today and was a 3rd bottom versus bottom of the table clash, so hopes of a decent game were low to began with, but it turned out to be a good watch.
Truro had the better of the clear cut chances in the opening exchanges but it was a header from Dan Thompson that gave Dorchester the lead after 20 minutes.

Truro were level after 41 minutes when Kieffer Moore let the ball roll across before firing home.
The second half was probably a little more subdued than the first half and the game seemed to petering out but after 75 minutes Ben Watson restored the homesters lead.
Truro were reduced to 10 men when Marcus Martin received his second yellow card but the Cornishmen were not to be denied and deep into stoppage time Jamie Ash, who had been thrown upfront, popped up to blast home and equaliser.
The draw was probably no help to either side but it was a fair outcome.
