Torquay United moved to the top of the South West Regional Women\u2019s Premier League, with a professional and workmanlike performance on the road in Gloucestershire, as Forest Green Rovers Women dropped their first points of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United, struggling with injuries, still took a strong sixteen to Hartpury College, allowing Lee Mann to juggle his back line again, Alex Sheppard and Sam Burnham in the central roles, and Kaitlyn Harris at left-back.\u00a0 Chloe Williams was preferred as a starter to Ellie Bishop, primarily as she\u2019d caused Rovers issues in a Liskeard shirt, last season.\u00a0 Sasha Mole was again on the bench as she edges ever closer to a full return, and there was a debut for youngster, Lana Northcott.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a nervy start, the visitors dominated the opening half.\u00a0 It could have been a different tale though, had Burnham\u2019s errant back pass inside 4 minutes, been capitalised on by Rover\u2019s striker, Rhiann Robbins, but she rushed her shot and scooped the ball wide of Jasmine Read\u2019s post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Forest Green\u2019s defence has been rarely breached this campaign, and despite United\u2019s dominance with the ball, the play on the edge of the host’s 18-yard box, meant United were regularly stopped from finding the killer pass.\u00a0 Eventually though Emily Elliot down the right, and Williams, with Lucy Palmer often overlapping found space down the flanks and United got closer to an opening.\u00a0 Lucy Solloway came closest, glancing a free header from Williams\u2019 ariel delivery across goal, when she should have hit the target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moments later, a half clearance set up Tracey Cross, whose wonderful curler towards the top corner, was met with an equally superb save by Florence Stiddard, getting both hands to the ball to turn it over the angle.\u00a0 A Torquay goal was coming, and eventually, a little luck and the hands of a Forest Green defender set up a direct free kick to the right of the D, and Tee Kaptein blasted it through the wall and the fingertips of Stiddard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United thought they had a second when Elliot got the last touch in a scramble from a Burnham corner but was adjudged offside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forest Green\u2019s 100% record was on the line and Torquay would have expected a response, which duly came immediately from the restart, Read twice called upon to deny the hosts an equaliser inside the opening ninety seconds.  Where United had dominated the opening spell, roles were reversed, and it was the visitors forced into compact defending, with Read out once at the feet of an attacker to again thwart a Rovers leveller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Torquay made the situation even worse, as Tracey Cross was sin-binned for ten minutes after an exchange of dialogue with referee, Adrian Forrester.  Instead of substituting in Lexie Watts to cover Cross, United went with the pace of Bishop on the right, and it worked, relieving some of the pressure on United\u2019s back line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it was Bishop\u2019s slide rule pass that led to Torquay\u2019s second, splitting the center-backs, and Williams’s pace drew an initially great save from Stiddard, but the Rovers stopper parried it back to Williams who effectively walked it into the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-goal cushion allowed United to manage the final quarter of the game, keeping Rovers at arm\u2019s length, and choosing their times to go forward.\u00a0 Bishop might have sealed the game when put through in a similar position to Williams, but this time the keeper got firmer contact and there was no follow-up.\u00a0 But United did add the cherry to a good victory in stoppage time, Northcott, on for the final five minutes hurrying a defender to concede a corner, Cross rising eight yards out to bullet Burnham\u2019s set-piece past Stiddard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three goals, three points, and top of the table \u2013 it was a good afternoon\u2019s work, and the perfect warm-up for next weekend\u2019s F.A.Cup First Round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Torquay United: 24 Jasmine Read, 2. Lucy Palmer, 4. Alex Sheppard, 5. Sam Burnham, 14. Kaitlyn Harris, 6. Adele Brown, 7. Tracey Cross \u00a9, 10, Tee Kaptein, 3. Emily Elliot, 9. Lucy Solloway, 11.
