The first Devon derby of the season saw Torquay United and Plymouth Argyle share the spoils in a goalless draw.
In the first half, the Argyle backline had to be at their very best as Ian Morris and Lee Mansell both went close for the Gulls and Danny Stevens, who was making his first start of the season for the hosts, also tested the Pilgrims defence.
Argyle also carved out a chance of their own in the opening 45 minutes as Robbie Williams forced a superb save from Michael Poke from a free-kick on 40 minutes.
The Pilgrims made a strong start to the second half and Poke had to be at his best to deny Warren Feeney in the 58th minute when he turned a headed effort from the Northern Ireland striker behind for a corner.
Moments later, Conor Hourihane went close for the Pilgrims as they enjoyed the better of the second period.
Billy Bodin came close to snatching a late winner for Torquay in the 89th minute when his goal bound shot was blocked by Durrell Berry as both sides settled for a point apiece.
The next Devon derby action will be taking place in December with three matches in the space of a fortnight as the Pilgrims travel to St James Park to face Exeter City on December 15th.
A week later, the Grecians make the trip to Plainmoor, four days ahead of the re-match between the Gulls and the Pilgrims on Boxing Day.
