Torquay
consolidated their place amongst the League
front-runners with this well worked win. The bonus
was the clear demonstration of strength in depth as
the side had several changes from the one that beat
Brixham the week before. The Tics now look forward to
upcoming crucial games against Exmouth and Barnstaple
over the next month.

POWELL: MORE TO TICS THAN PACK POWER

Coach
Drew Powell was particularly pleased with the First
XV 14-8 winning performance given the nature of both
defeats in the 2006-7 fixtures. He was keen to point
out though that Torquay need to press home the
consequent advantage over the next few fixtures to
open a gap between the League's leading teams and the
rest of the pack.
Torquay 14-8 Brixham

Torquay
were good value for this win, against a side that
would be playing a couple of Leagues lower if they
didn't have the proven knack of playing 'til the
final whistle! Brixham have consistently won games in
the dying stages, and the Tics couldn't relax until
the Ref blew the 80....
Dings Crusaders 22-5 Torquay
14/10/07 15:27 Filed in: Match Review
Torquay acquitted themselves admirably in this tough,
National Cup away draw, against National League Three
opponents Dings Crusaders. The Bristol side had too
much savvy in the forward loose play, and the Tics
found that they were living off scraps of possession.
However Coach Drew Powell can be particularly pleased
with a robust defence and the fact that Torquay
competed fully for the whole eighty
minutes.

Yatton 17-18 Torquay

If there were League points for 'the Most Hospitable
Club' Yatton would have been convincing winners. As
it was the Tics spluttered from 17-3 down to emerge
17-18 winners, courtesy of a late Steve Smith try
following sustained forward pressure in the closing
minutes of the game.
