'Workmanlike' Torquay United get win at Tonbridge
Torquay United manager Paul Wotton says his side put in a 'workmanlike' performance in their 1-0 win at Tonbridge Angels. Jordan Young got the only goal of the game as he converted from close range after Matt Jay had hit the post with a 35th-minute effort. Offrande Zanzala went close to doubling the lead before the interval while Jay had a second-half effort cleared off the keeper James Hamon made a good save late on to secure all three win ensures the Gulls stay in sixth place in National League South - they are four points off leaders Worthing and eight clear of eighth-placed Weston-super-Mare. "Never underestimate 1-0 away from home," Wotton told BBC Radio Devon."First half it felt like a typical end of season game, it felt to me like two teams with nothing to play for, but we have got something to play for."I thought if we'd have stepped up first half we could have gone in more than 1-0 up, and then second half we were relatively comfortable seeing it out."But I still think we had good chances to put the game to bed, but all in all I think it was a very workmanlike away performance."

Truro 'not relying' on other teams
Truro City manager John Askey says his side are not relying on other teams' results after maintaining their play-off bid with a 1-0 win at Tonbridge Angels on Saturday. Defender Will Dean scored the only goal of the game in the 17th minute to confirm Truro's second consecutive away victory, bolstering the Cornwall club's hopes of remaining in the National League South play-off positions as they sit sixth. "It's in our hands," said former Shrewsbury and Port Vale boss Askey. "We're not relying on other people to lose, to stay in the play-offs. It's down to us which is a nice position to be in. "We've got about 14 games to go, so we've got to keep our heads, keep working hard and hopefully we'll get to where we want to be." Truro's recent spike in away form has made up for their three consecutive home draws, most recently against mid-table Farnborough. Askey, 60, pointed to strong winds on the south-west coast affecting his side's football but believes Truro's away performances have given the players "confidence". "It's been difficult at home," he added. "The wind doesn't help us on the pitch at the moment, so hopefully we can get the pitch right for next Saturday and we can get the ball down and play a little bit more which has been difficult at home for about six or seven weeks. "The players take confidence, I don't think it matters who we play. It's about us, our performances and if we do that, then we've got a great chance whoever we play." Truro next face 14th-placed Slough Town at home on Saturday. Truro City FC
