Whilst the Glovers were winning at Woking, the loanees were out and about getting some game time in.

Firstly, defender Jordan Thomas scored his first goal as a Torquay United player, they gave Enfield Town a good hiding in the National League South and Thomas got the ball rolling with the Gulls’ first goal.

Torquay sit third in the table with only Truro City and Weston-super-Mare above them… they really should name that the National League South-West.

Although, at the other end, managerless W*ymouth were beaten 1-0 at home by Tonbridge Angels.

A single Jeremy Santos goal the difference there. Will Buse was between the sticks and by all accounts, did very little wrong.

The seagull botherers, who travel to Huish Park for an FA Trophy third round tie on Saturday, now sit second-from-bottom of the tale without a manager following the dismissal of Mark Moseley during the week.

Young defender Jacob Shore was an unused sub for Tavistock in Southern League Division One South in a 3-2 win over Ciderford Town but he did get the full 90 minutes in a midweek victory over Bashley.

Under-18s’ midfielder Sol Padmore was in Bridport’s starting line-up, but they fell to defeat to Newquay AFC in the South West Peninsula League (East).

Sherborne Town lost 3-2 to Hamble FC. Team news is sparse for this one, it’s unlikely that Under-18s’ captain Corey Koerner would have been involved due to his England Colleges Debut on Friday, we’ll update this article if we spot any involvement for Josh Haskett.

It wasn’t pretty, but it was three points: The losing run is over and it didn’t really matter how it happened. This was a match which lacked a lot of quality (except McGavin’s goal, see below) but the mission was three points and that’s all it needed to be. There was a weird atmosphere in the ground, particularly for the second half. Kingfield is a terrible away end/side to get any kind of atmosphere and there wasn’t much to get too many pulses racing. Job done.

Morgan Williams cannot believe what he’s just seen from Magic McGavin.

What a showreel Brett McGavin has: I thought his free-kick at Boston United at the end of August was nailed on for Goal of the Season, but Brett McGavin has given himself competition with that absolute rocket. The cross from James Plant went so high I think it may have been touched by God before it reached his boot. That is some serious technique. Take a bow.

I hadn’t realised how much we missed Jake Wannell: Mark Cooper made reference to how our left-sided defender (that’s Jake Wannell) is instrumental to setting off attacks, and that was obvious against Woking. I don’t think Ollie Wright ever looked troubled with the exception of when Morgan Williams bailed him out with a header off the line when he got caught out of position. Defensively I didn’t feel we missed Wannell today, Woking can’t finish their dinner at the moment, but his role in getting us moving forward was evident.
