Andy Knight Confirmed as First XV Skipper.

Andy leads from the front and will be a popular choice as successor to Ben Passenger who stepped down last year after a long and successful tenure.

TORQUAY Athletic have appointed Andy Knight as their new captain for the season ahead.
The Tics had to find a new skipper this term after long-serving Ben Passenger stood down after five years in the job.
Knight was put in charge for the friendly game against Exmouth last Saturday and impressed the club's decision makers sufficiently to earn the job on a full time basis.

For Torquay supporters it is the first chance to have a look at some of the new players who have flocked to the club during the close season.

Unusually, there has been an influx of players from arch rivals Brixham, led by back-row bruiser Chris Dorling. Hooker Mike Beeson, flanker Jon Lamsin and centre Phil Maddick have all crossed the Bay with Dorling.
Tom Winfield, who quit Torquay for Brixham last season, has returned.
Albion will be a stiff test for Torquay, which is no bad thing with the league opener against Sidmouth just a week away. They could run into Namibian World Cup prop Jane DuToit, who is poised to sign for Plymouth and likely to get a run-out just to stretch his legs.
Torquay lost 23-18 last time out to Exmouth, although player-coach Ben Cole was reasonably satisfied with the way things went.
"For our first competitive fixture we showed signs of promise, against a fairly well organised side that have played three fixtures already," said Cole.
"However, it was a game we could have won, and there were defensive lapses that will need addressing."
