United suffered their first defeat of pre-season as Plymouth Parkway emerged as winners at Bolitho Park. A goalless first 45 minutes produced plenty of effort and endeavour, but there was little to report in the way of goalscoring opportunities. Deon Moore came closest to breaking the deadlock...
Parkway's awful pitch didn't allow for stellar football and Torquay, being a reasonable passing team, struggled with it and couldn't get any flow to their game. Parkway, to their credit, pressed well but a draw would have been a fair result.
