Torquay United 2-1 Cheltenham Town
Tuesday March 22, Plainmoor, (Att: 2,186)
Promotion-chasing Torquay moved up to fourth in League Two as their fine recent form continued with victory over Cheltenham in this game postponed from Boxing Day.
The Gulls had already had a goal disallowed before they took the lead just before the half hour mark. Defender Guy Branston powering in a header from a Craig Stanley corner to put the Devonians ahead.
Town tried to respond, but chances for Matt Green and Wes Thomas were both spurned as they went into the break behind.
Paul Buckle's men went in search of a second after the interval, eventually doubling their advantage with less than 20 minutes remaining.
Ronan Murray took advantage after Cheltenham failed to deal with a cross in the box to finish put the ball in the net and put Torquay out of sight.
With injury time looming, the Robins did reduce the deficit courtesy of keeper Scott Bevan's error in allowing Danny Andrew's long range free kick to beat him.
However, they couldn't find a leveller and returned to Gloucestershire empty handed. In-form United appear to be peaking at just the right time though.
