TORQUAY REMAIN TOP OF LEAGUE TWO

Despite being held to a goalless draw at Plainmoor by Accrington Stanley, Torquay United remain top of League Two on goal difference.

The Gulls are currently on 13 points for the 2010-11 campaign and lead the table by virtue of having a superior goal difference to Shrewsbury Town and Port Vale.

Yeovil Town bounced back from their 4-0 defeat at hands of Notts County to win 3-1 at home to Tranmere Rovers. Goals from Dean Bowditch, Paul Huntington and Andy Welsh secured all three points for the Glovers before Rovers grabbed a late consolation goal through a penalty from Ian Thomas-Moore.

Exeter City made it two wins out of two with a 3-2 away win over Hartlepool United. Ryan Harley opened the scoring for the Grecians, their lead lasted until Pool equalised through Ritchie Humphrey. Anthony Sweeney then gave Hartlepool the lead before John O'Flynn bagged a second half brace to clinch all three points for Paul Tisdale's side.

A second half strike from defender Reda Johnson earned a point for Plymouth Argyle as they travelled East to face Colchester United. Johnson's effort cancelled Dave Bond's opener for the U's to move Argyle clear of the relegation zone.
