Taunton Town F.C 1 - 2 Torquay United | Rob Dray Interview

The Peacocks have left themselves a mountain to climb to escape relegation from the Vanarama National League South after losing 2-1 to Torquay United at Wordsworth Drive this evening. A poor first half performance from Town saw them trail at the break, with the visitors taking the lead after 17 minutes when Tom Lapslie set up Brett McGavin to fire home from 20 yards. A McGavin corner was then volleyed home by Asa Hall on 29 minutes to double the Gulls’ lead before the hosts reduced the deficit two minutes into the second half when Zac Bell’s long throw was flicked out to Ollie Chamberlain who rifled home a scorcher from the left side of the area. The Peacocks went on to make a better fist of it and came close when Zac Bell’s shot hit the post and Evander Grubb put the rebound wide but there was to be no equaliser. Town now face the stark reality of having to beat Weston-super-Mare in their penultimate home game of the season on Thursday evening to give themselves a chance of staying in the National League.

Three fantastic goals tonight ! Minimum was a 2-2 score as it was 50:50. Disallowed goal was a joke as were some of the referee decisions overall. Torquay professional quality meant they took their chances (as they should !) . Good fan base from Torquay turned up to make it a good atmosphere.

Sorry about your relegation wishing you all the best on your bounce back up. It was a nice away day personally although the Torquay fans having to stay back would’ve been awful had we have not won. Overall fair result and I can see what you mean but that was most definitely a foul on Halstead for the disallowed goal. Overall as a club you’re much nicer than Truro so it’s sad to see you go hopefully we can arrange a friendly against you in pre season

Taunton very unlucky not to win, definitely the better side.
