Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City continue to fly the flag for South West Football in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, but Torquay United unfortunately bowed out of the competition.
The Pilgrims came away from the Abbey Business Stadium with a 2-0 win over Cheltenham Town courtesy of goals from Craig Noone and Steven MacLean.
Exeter recorded the biggest victory of the round as they brushed aside Hereford United 3-0 at Edgar Street. Daniel Nardiello opened the scoring from the penalty spot before John O'Flynn and Richard Duffy added further goals for the Grecians.
After defeating AFC Bournemouth in the first round, Torquay couldn't repeat those heroics in the second phase as they went down 2-0 against Swindon Town at the County Ground. Strikes from David Ball and former Argyle loanee Vincent Pericard proved to be enough to see off the Gulls.
