Torquay United Defeats Horsham in FA Trophy

Torquay United advanced to the fourth round of the FA Trophy with a 2-0 victory over Horsham at Plainmoor, thanks to second-half goals from Brad Ash and Dan Hayfield. Despite a lackluster first half, Torquay found momentum after Ash's glancing header four minutes into the second half. Manager Paul Wotton expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance but acknowledged the importance of the win and maintaining momentum. Horsham struggled to threaten after the break, with their best chance coming late in the game. The match was rescheduled due to adverse weather conditions caused by Storm Darragh, limiting the visiting fan turnout. Torquay will face Gosport Borough in the next round on January 4, 2024.
