GULLS VERSUS BEES TAKE TWO

After Saturday's wash out, Torquay United will once again be looking to secure a vital three points against relegation rivals Barnet.

Referee Keith Hill deemed a waterlogged Plainmoor pitch unfit to play and following Saturday's results, the emphasis on clinching the necessary three points is now much greater than before.

The Gulls' fellow relegation rivals York City, who were level on points with Torquay but behind on goal difference, upset the form book beating promotion chasing Northampton Town 2-0 at the Sixfields Stadium.

York's win moves them above both Torquay and Barnet, which increases the importance of the three points available to the winner of tomorrow night's encounter.

One advantage of Saturday's postponement for the Gulls is that it allows goalkeeper Michael Poke extra recovery time following a rib injury to return for what will be Torquay's most important game of the season so far.
