A FAB FIFTH FROM YOUNGY GETS GULLS BACK ON TRACK

Luke Young picked the perfect time- and perfect way- to score his fifth goal of the season for Torquay United to ensure that the Gulls defeated Wrexham to get their promotion bid back on track.

A Louis Moult effort, which came after he had successfully charged down a goal-kick from Martin Rice, had given the Red Dragons the lead in the first half before Torquay gradually gained a foothold as they hit back through Louis Briscoe.

The Gulls and Young then saved the best for last as he unleashed a volley from 25-yards, which went in off the post, to score one of the best goals seen at Plainmoor in recent years to seal a win that moves the Gulls back up to third in the Vanarama Conference table, and also sees the Gulls' skipper top the club's goal scoring charts with five goals.

It was a perfect antidote to back-to-back defeats at the hands of AFC Telford and Forest Green Rovers.
