As well as celebrating Non League Day at Plainmoor when Bath City come to town, Torquay United will be looking to take another step towards a return to the National League
Last Saturday’s excellent 1-0 win at Dorking Wanderers helped to blow the National League South promotion race wide open once more, and another three points against the Romans this weekend will see hopes raised further that the Gulls can end their two-year exile from the top tier of non-league football.
Their opponents are now managed by former Yeovil Town midfielder Darren Way, who like Gulls manager Paul Wotton hails from the city of Plymouth. Wotton also served under Way as a player during his time with the Glovers, as Way had taken on a coaching role which saw him work alongside the then Yeovil manager Terry Skiverton and his then assistant Nathan Jones.
In addition to this, United's former Romans' trio of Jordan Dyer, Dan Hayfield and Cody Cooke are all set to feature at some point in the afternoon, whilst former Gulls' Ollie Tomlinson, Alex Fisher and Martin Horsell will likely appear in the Bath squad. Striker Brad Ash is currently on loan at Twerton Park, but won't feature as part of his loan agreement.
Also, with Plymouth Argyle not in action due to the international break, a number of the 'Green Army' might be tempted to see former Pilgrims Finley Craske and Oscar Threlkeld, or check the progress of loanee Will Jenkins Davies.
Exeter City are away to Lincoln City, so it will be interesting to see any of Grecians' contignent who aren't making the trip to Sincil Bank might decide to get a glimpse of former City skipper Matt Jay, as well as Jordan Dyer, Dan Hayfield or Dean Moxey.
