For the second weekend running, South Devon College is the venue for Torquay United, as they look to follow up an impressive 5-1 win over Ilminster a week ago and keep their league title hopes on track against AEK Boco Ladies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These two last met on the opening day of the South West Regional Women\u2019s Premier League season, when United came from behind in Bristol to lead 3-2, before a late penalty for Boco, secured a point, in what is Torquay\u2019s only draw of the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The status quo hasn\u2019t changed for a while now. United know if they can win their remaining games, they will lift the title and claim the one promotion spot back to the National League. The big games won\u2019t come until May, when they\u2019ll have to do it the hard way on the road at both leaders Marine Academy Plymouth Ladies, and Sherborne Ladies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before then they can afford no slips. Having dealt professionally with Frampton and Ilminster, they\u2019ll need more of the same and a better disciplined display than in that opening day meeting. Boco, shouldn\u2019t pose a threat, sitting seventh of the 11 sides in the division, with just five wins from their fifteen league outings this campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucy Atkinson leads their scorers with fifteen goals, just two behind our own Lucy Solloway.\u00a0 Generally, Boco\u2019s victories have come against the teams below them and not those in the top four, but they ran Sherborne close, losing just 1-0 back in October, but they did beat Forest Green 2-0 at the start of December, so should not be underestimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like many of the mid-table teams, they\u2019re far enough ahead of the bottom two to avoid being dragged into a relegation fight, and they\u2019ve too few remaining games to be able to reach the top. That said, they\u2019re another team who could spoil United\u2019s ambitions, if not treated with the utmost respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once again, Sunday\u2019s match at South Devon College kicks off at 2 pm, and if you can get across to Paignton, then your Yellow Army support really helps the ladies. But, if you have other things on, don\u2019t forget that you can listen to live radio commentary at tufcwomen.mixlr.com, and we will be on air from 1.45 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
