Torquay United

And that's it!

An unreal performance from United sees them put 7 past a hapless and overwhelmed Eastbourne. Superb from every single player, but especially Dennis, who netted a hat trick and takes home the matchball. Young and Morgan claiming braces to complete the scoring

7-0

2,952 - with 45 making the trip from Eastbourne - have watched a truly magnificent home display.

Thank you so much for your support and a safe journey home 👏

Put a fork in me, I'm done!

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

Young drinks one over the keeper as Torquay score three in five minutes.

It. Is. Seven!!

Can United make it SIX?!!!!!

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

Why yes; yes they can. Right from the restart, United swarm the ball and it falls to Morgan who beats a man and places it into the net from 18 yards.

Pinch me, I must be dreaming

You know what's coming...
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

Dennis rounds off a well deserved hat trick, smashing the ball home as United outnumber Eastbourne as they go forward. What is happening??

Don't know why the previous posts all came through at once, BTW. Damned 5G!!

Well, what can we say about that first half?

Let's see if we can add to the goal tally in the second period after a frenetic opening 45.

4-0

You. Have. To. Be. Kidding (deep breath...)

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

Morgan takes aim and finds the target on the angle to make it 4 (yes, FOUR) before the break.

United playing some unbelievable football, Eastbourne have no answer to this!!

GOALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

Dennis is running riot! A cheeky flick plays in Young who sprints clear to make it three, a minute shy of 40'

What a first half!!!!

GOALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

On the half hour, Dennis grabs his and United's second if the day!!

GOALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

On the 7 minute mark, Thomas plays in Dennis who calmly places the ball past the visiting goalkeeper. 1-0 and a perfect start!!

#COYY

Your #TUFC team for this afternoon's game against #Eastbourne

United return to #NLS action today as we welcome Eastbourne to a very cold Riviera. Can the recent upturn in league form continue? Score predictions below!!

Despite some sustained pressure in the second half, a goal has yet to look particularly likely. With just over 5 to go, you'd have to think it unlikely that Torquay will be fighting on more than one front at the close of play.

0-2

And the second half is back underway. C'mon, Torquay!!

0-2

Half time.

Torquay trailing at the break

0-2

Only a few minutes to go until the change of ends. Other than the goals conceded, it's been a pretty decent performance. Goals win games, though, as United look to halve the deficit before the break

It's a quick fire double, Gilbert running through to beat Hamon with a quality finish. Torquay with it all to do after half an hour

0-2

After a strong start to the game from the home side, it is Maidstone who take the lead against the run of play. Several crosses were well defended until the ball fell to Golding who fired into the roof of the net.

0-1

And the visitors;

Your United side for this week's clash with Maidstone, as the Yellows look to extend their run in the #FATrophy

Good afternoon, Yellows!! Apologies for the radio silence this week; I have been globe (or Europe) - trotting once again and am in beautiful Budapest. Wearing the colours with pride in Eastern Europe, and meeting the locals

#GullsVsHawks

GOALLLLLLLLLLL!!

An OG on 72' doubles our lead!!!!

Dolan finds the target from long range and United have the lead just before the break!!

Match day!

Today's road trip sees United heading east once more to take on Maidenhead. Sitting 12th in NLS, Maidenhead will be looking to give United a tough game at York Road - a ground recognised by FIFA as holding the record for longest continuous use by one team, hosting Maidenhead since 1871!

A late rally comes to nothing as United suffer their first home defeat of the season.

Once again an amazing crowd cheered on the team but it wasn't to be.

1-2

Hornchurch get a second

1-2

And we go again! The shadows growing ever longer as the teams head out for the second half. Will we see a repeat of the opening manic 20 minutes from the first half?

1-1
