After waiting nine matches to open his account for Torquay United, Callum Ball bagged a brace as the Gulls secured their first home win of the campaign against Cheltenham Town.
The Derby County loanee, who had previously had efforts ruled out for offside against AFC Wimbledon and Oxford United, edged Torquay in front inside three minutes, and struck again before half-time after Byron Harrison had levelled for the Robins.
Ball's strike partner Karl Hawley added a third shortly after the break before Terry Gornell pulled one back for Cheltenham and Jordan Chappell scored the Gulls' fourth goal, and his fourth of the season, to round off an impressive display.
With Ball's youth loan with the Rams due to expire next month, it surely can't be long before Torquay manager Alan Knill meets with his Derby counterpart Nigel Clough to discuss extending Ball's stay at Plainmoor.
