LAST MEETING
Saturday April 18th, 2026, Torquay United 1 Hemel Hempstead Town 2
Hemel Hempstead ended Torquay United’s four-match winning run to move above the Gulls in the National League South play-off race, leaving United needing a win on the final day to make their own place in the play-offs mathematically certain
The Tudors took the lead on nine minutes when Isiah Noel-Williams picked out George Williams on the right-hand side who then squared the ball for Remaye Campbell to slot home.
United equalised in the 35th minute when Deon Moore latched onto a ball over the top from Callum Dolan and raced clear of the Hemel defence before scoring his third goal in two games with a cool finish.
Hemel restored their lead seven minutes into the second half when Mauro Vilhete fired home from the edge of the penalty area.
In the 79th minute, Gulls’ subs Sonny Blu Lo-Everton and Matt Jay combined in the 79th minute to set up Jay for a low strike which missed the target.
With seven minutes to go, Moore nodded a corner from Lo-Everton over as the Gulls couldn’t find a second equaliser.
