GULLS BACK ON TRACK WITH BACK TO BACK WINS ON THEIR TRAVELS

As the famous saying goes, you spent ages waiting for a bus and then two come along at once; this proved to be the case for Torquay United as they followed up their midweek success against Farnborough by coming away from Maidenhead United with three points. 

Inspired by a brace from Louis Dennis and Jordan Dyer's first goal of the campaign, the Gulls returned home from the Saunders Transport Community Stadium with a 3-1 victory on Wednesday night.

United then travelled to Maidenhead's York Road on Saturday, where they secured back-to-back away wins for the first time this season as they secured a 2-1 win. Callum Dolan gave the Gulls the lead with a second of the campaign on 40 minutes before Maidenhead defender Remy Clerima inadvertently turned a cross from Jordan Young into his own net. 

A late consolation from Liam Dulson in injury time set up a tense finish, but United held on to secure the third win in fourth visits to York Road with a performance that manager Paul Wotton hailed as being 'magnificent.' 

The win moves the Gulls up to third behind league leaders Hornchurch and second placed Weston Super Mare. 

Once their FA Trophy clash at home to Maidstone United next Saturday is out of the way, they will then have a home 'Saturday-Tuesday double header against Eastbourne Borough and Worthing. 

United's home record remains amongst the strongest in the league, they are one of four sides in National League South who have six times in front of their own fans in 2025-26, and if they can ally that with improved away showings, then they will soon lift themselves back into contention for the title.
