MATCH QUOTES

“Naturally I’m disappointed but Torquay are a good side and deserved their victory. “Slack marking caused our defeat - twice we allowed Torquay defenders to come up and score goals. “The thing that really upset me was the booking of Lew Chatterley. “The referee booked him straight away, yet their left back, Bill Kitchener, conceded 12 free kicks and the referee only wagged a finger at him.” Vic Crowe.
