THE GULLS WEEK

The Gulls Week – w/c 22nd November
The games are coming thick and fast, let’s see what’s happening this upcoming week.
What’s happening this week……
Tuesday – Aldershot v TUFC @ Recreation Ground (19.45 KO)
Torquay have the novelty of a midweek league fixture, something the fans have somewhat been deprived of this season. This marks their third (fourth in all comps) midweek fixture in a row where they have been away from Plainmoor.
United head to an Aldershot side struggling near the foot of the table. They did inflict defeat on Grimsby last time out to end a spell of 5 straight league defeats. The Shots had no weekend fixture so will be fresh for the challenge of the Gulls on Tuesday night. Torquay fans will be familiar with the Rec, as we have shone their on a number of occasions, notably when we ran out 4-1 winners last October.
Saturday – TUFC v Halifax @ Plainmoor (15.00 KO)
Back to home comforts for the Gulls after back-to-back away fixtures. Torquay are looking for a fifth straight home league victory to bolster their league position, but in Halifax, face tough competition. Pete Wild’s men currently occupy the play off places and boast top scorer and former Yellow Billy Waters as their main threat.
Torquay have partnered up with #HerGameToo and will be once again opening up the Wollens terrace, and offering 1,000 free tickets to females. This follows the success of NHS staff & Carers day, and Community day, with the club now offering 3,000 free tickets in the last 3 home games. Incredible stuff from TUFC.

Saturday – TUFC Youth U18’s v Swindon Supermarines Youth U18’s @ South Devon College (10.30 KO)
United are back in cup action, this time the ‘Gary Else Memorial’ League Cup as they host the Supermarines. The young Gulls play their second group match of this competition, after receiving a ‘walkover’ against Paulton last month.
Sunday – TUFC Women v Bishops Lydeard Women @ Stoke Gabriel FC (14.00 KO)
After a comprehensive 12-0 win over Bideford last weekend, the Ladies host Somerset side, Bishops Lydeard at SGFC. The two met on the opening day where United ran out 4-2 winners.
Birthdays
Courtney Richards – 28
The tough tackling, hard working former midfielder turns 28 on Monday. After leaving Plainmoor in 2017, the Jamaican played for the likes of Macclesfield, Braintree and Nuneaton. He is currently with Hednesford Town in the Southern League Central.
Liam Davis – 35
The hugely popular former left back celebrates turning 35 on Tuesday. Sadly, injuries ended Davis’ spell way too early, and have no doubt had he not have sustained such prolonging setbacks, he’d still be a major part of this squad. Have a good one Liam!
Danny Stevens – 35
The little magician turns 35 on Friday. Danny certainly left his mark on this football club, initially signed by Buckle in our inaugural Conference season, he spent 7 years at Plainmoor, making near on 200 appearances. Baller.
