Who Are They

Founded in 1899, Torquay United did not move to their current stadium until 1921, when Plainmoor Ground was built. In 1927, 28 years after forming, The Gulls became champions of the Western League, which meant the club successfully applied to become a Football League club. Torquay United found their record goal scorer, Sammy Collins, who scored 219 goals in 379 matches for the club. Eric Webber managed the club for fifteen years during his tenure, and one of the club's most famous days was when Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Plainmoor Ground in 1965 for an FA Cup match. The Gulls managed to get a 3-3 draw and force a replay at White Hart Lane. Throughout recent times Torquay United has been in the National League pyramid since 2014. The Yellow Army was incredibly close to getting promoted to the Football League in 2021 but narrowly lost to  Hartlepool United on penalties at Ashton Gate.

Last Time Out

The Beavers got a huge 4-0 win last time out against Enfield Town at the Beveree Stadium and will want to make it back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Torquay United hosted St Albans, and former Hampton & Richmond player Ben Seymour scored his side's goal in a 1-1 draw.

 Regarding the league table, Hampton & Richmond currently sit eleventh, while Torquay United is in fifth place in the playoff positions.  Both sides have picked up the same points in the past five league matches with eight points.

Who Scored The Goals?
