Torquay Utd v Worthing 12/8/2023 15:00

Lapslie was all but invisible against Dover last week - maybe he was already injured?!

Keiron Evans and Nico Lawrence played for their respective sides in last night's Cardiff v Colchester EFL Cup Match. Cardiff won 3-0 on penalties after the tie finished 2-2 after extra time.

Torquay Utd v Worthing 12/8/2023 15:00

1-0 home win - they can't be any more sloppy than they were at Dover?!

Dover Athletic v Torquay United - 3pm 5th Aug

I should also praise Dover's ground and staff - the pitch was immaculate and all the spectators were covered so nobody got soaked. The staff were unfailingly poilte and helpful. It all reminded me of Plainmoor 30-40 years ago. You could pay by cash or card at the gate and they let my little grandaug...

Dover Athletic v Torquay United - 3pm 5th Aug

Not quite the banana skin I thought might happen - but very nearly! Having moved from Bude to Canterbury fairly recently, Dover's ground is easy to get to from my new home, so no excuse for not attending the Gulls' first match of the new season. For the first 20 minutes Torquay played like champions...

MOTM - Dover

If the match was based on the first 20 minutes, I'd nominate the entire team! However only 3 players stood out as the match wore on: Will Jenkins-Davis - A cut above all the other players throughout. Great energy and determination until he was mysteriously substituted late on. Mark Halstead - Kept u...

Dover Athletic v Torquay United - 3pm 5th Aug

The weather forecast for the Dover area tomorrow is dreadful - storm Antoni on the way! Conditions will be difficult for the players with driving rain and high winds, which might have some bearing on the final result.

Dover Athletic v Torquay United - 3pm 5th Aug

Potential banana skin this one (sloping pitch, crap weather), but still going for a narrow Torquay victory:

Dover 1 Torquay 2

Hornchurch v Aveley

I lost a lot of respect for the Grecians when they failed to support TUFC when the club looked as if it was going out of business back in 2016. Plymouth on the other hand sent loads of their Lords Taveners supporters to Plainmoor for one match I attended, a gesture which was very much appreciated du...

Altrincham v Torquay United, 3pm, Saturday 22nd April 2023

I wonder how they will divide the relegated clubs up into the National Leagues North and South. Scunthorpe will obviously go straight into the NLN, but one of Torquay, Yeovil and Maidstone will also have to join them 'up North'!

Relegation-Look on the bright side

A bit of gallows humour is quite welcome at the present time!
