SAAH MAKES TEAM OF THE WEEK AGAIN

For the second week in succession, Torquay United defender Brian Saah has been named in the League Two Team of the Week.

After a slow start to his career at Plainmoor, Saah, a former England C international, has become an integral part of a Torquay defence which has now kept two consecutive clean sheets.

During the previous week, Brian also opened his goal scoring account for the Gulls when he headed home a Kevin Nicholson corner to score Torquay's opening goal in their 3-0 win over Macclesfield Town last week.

Following Martin Ling's appointment as Gulls' manager in the summer, Brian become one of his first signings and he was quickly appointed as club captain and vice-captain to Lee Mansell.

It was Ling who gave Brian his league debut for Leyton Orient as a 16-year old and he went on to help Orient win promotion from League Two under Ling's guidance in the 2005-06 season, before going on to serve Ling again at Cambridge United.

If the Gulls can maintain their current form, don't rule out both manager and player celebrating a second promotion in the near future.
