Torquay Town played a fine defensive game but showed lack of knowledge. At times there was a little passing on both sides, but as a whole the game was nothing more than a tumble one. Pinsent, who won the game with a drop kick, played splendidly, but the home three-quarters, of whom Pictor and Pearce were the pick, were very erratic in passing, and a sharper team would have taken a better advantage of it.
