The next installment of the League Two's Devon mini league takes place tomorrow night at Plainmoor as Torquay United and Exeter City face each other in their first competitive meeting since 2008.
In their last encounter, the two sides were both striving to win promotion from the Blue Square Premier as they met over the two legged Play-Off semi-final.
Both games were televised live on the now defunct TV station Setanta and the Gulls seized the initiative after the first leg at St James Park, which they won 2-1 with goals from Tim Sills and Chris Zebroski finding the target.
Fast forward to the second leg, which was played at Plainmoor on a May Bank Holiday Monday, and Torquay looked destined for a place in the final when Kevin Hill, who was equalling the club's long standing club appearance record held by Dennis Lewis, struck on 59 minutes to put the Gulls 3-1 in front on aggregate.
However, just as Torquay seemed to be heading towards a chance of clinching promotion back League Two, at the first attempt following their relegation in 2007, disaster struck.
In the 70th minute, Ryan Harley pulled a goal back before Ben Watson levelled the scores on aggregate from the penalty 11 minutes later.
Two further late goals in the 89th and 90th minutes respectively from Richard Logan and Wayne Carlisle rounded off the Grecians' comeback as they completed a remarkable 5-3 aggregate win.
This set them up for a meeting with Cambridge United in the final, which they won 1-0 to seal their return to the Football League.
The Gulls would have to wait a further year before they booked their return to the League, which they also achieved after a Play-Off final win over Cambridge.
Much has changed for both sides since then in terms of personnel as only Lee Mansell, Kevin Nicholson, Danny Stevens and Martin Rice from the current Gulls' squad survive from that day and for the Grecians Steve Tully remains their only link with the team they fielded.
