Paul Wotton Commends Torquay United After Securing Top Spot in National League South

Will Jenkins-Davies, a Plymouth Argyle loanee, is currently in excellent goalscoring form for Torquay United. Paul Wotton has commended his Torquay United team after they ascended to the top of National League South following a 2-0 victory against Farnborough. Torquay, known as ‘The Gulls,’ secured their win early in the match. Will Jenkins-Davies netted his fourth goal in the past three league fixtures, putting Torquay ahead in the fifth minute. Jordan Young extended the lead to 2-0 merely two minutes later, as Torquay prevented the visiting team from scoring in front of an audience exceeding 3,000 supporters at Plainmoor. This win, combined with a defeat for former leaders Truro City and a stalemate for Weston-super-Mare, resulted in ‘The Gulls’ establishing a one-point advantage at the league’s summit, with Boreham Wood moving into the second position. “We couldn’t have had a better start,” Wotton informed BBC Radio Devon. “It wasn’t just the two goals, it was our intensity and our football. Our play in the first 15-20 minutes I thought was fantastic at times and then the game changes because Farnborough are a good team and you saw a different side of us. I think James Hamon had one save to make in the 96th minute. I thought our defensive display was top class.”
