Boreham (H) - Despite having the dubious honour of being present at all ten defeats this season, this didn’t feel like the worst one.
Proud of everyone connected with our club, in the first year of this new era!

Aveley (A) - Tricky to get to, but the boys rewarded the travelling Yellow Army with a late winner. Fifth win in six games. It’s on!! @tufcofficial.bsky.social @torquaytalk.bsky.social #TUFC #COYY #DHAS

Dorking (A) - Unexpected win today in Surrey. First away win I have seen since October, and I’ve only missed 5 away games! Superb support from the Yellow Army, and perfect performance from the boyssss 👌 @tufcofficial.bsky.social @torquaytalk.bsky.social #TUFC #COYY #DHAS

Eastbourne (H) - Battle of the seaside retirement hotspots 😉. So happy to see a win at long last after a series of disappointing results. Some solid performances today from the boys in yellow and blue 👍 @tufcofficial.bsky.social @torquaytalk.bsky.social #TUFC #COYY #DHAS

Maidstone (A) - This was meant to be a celebratory picture, but alas, it was indeed a fourth defeat in four Maidstone away fixtures for me. Maybe I was getting carried away, but it was a tight game today, and there are still 17 games to go 😬. Time to crack out the vintage shirts

Maidstone (A) - Let’s hope this one works! On my 5th change of shirt after trying home, away, third, and polo shirt in recent matches. Feeling lucky and excited attending my 10th league & cup match on the bounce 🤞

Hampton & Richmond (H) - Third consecutive game where we played well enough to win, but didn’t. I’m confident the results will come, and we’ll score plenty of goals with the attacking quality on show this last week.

Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.

Fun fact that the developer of the original Football Manager computer game in the early 1980s was a @tufcofficial.bsky.social fan from Paignton. I spent many hours trying to get Torquay to the top of the league. #TUFC #COYY @torquaytalk.bsky.social @samswanny.bsky.social youtu.be/Kw4pSjIXVLE?...

What an inspiring Faithless gig last night in Brixton. Such a friendly and fun atmosphere, dominated by over 50s determined to recreate their youth 🤩
