FINAL SCORE - GULLS 4-1 BARROW

And to cap the late drama Barrow have had Walker sent off for a wild foul on Ellis.

GOAL - GULLS 4-1 BARROW

Green scuffs the ball in after 88 minutes. The linesman flags for offside but the ref over-rules him. It's 4-1!

Stevens pings a great shot just over the top with 10 minutes to go.
And Green comes on for Benyon after 86 minutes. Elliot has given us a man of the match performance today.
Green volleys just bwide with his first touch.

Hargreaves apperas to be playing through the pain barrier here, and is moving better then he was.

GOAL - GULLS 3-1 BARROW

Tim Sills makes it 3-1 after 67 minutes. Carlisle crosses from the left, Benyon helps it on with a flick over the defence and Sills heads it in at the far post from eight yards. That's 18 goals this season for the big man.

Attendance 2,269

Carlisle has just answered the question in the 65th minute, cutting in from the left and hammering one in from the edge of the box which deasy punches straight up into the air.

Carlisle is coming on for Thompson after 62 minutes. He has scored winning goals on his last couple of appearances from the bench. We'll need another today, I reckon.

Ellis heads wide from a Nicholson cross in the 57th minute.
Barrow are still giving this a right go, though.
Great chance for the Gulls in the 58th. Wroe burst down the right and crossed low into the box. Simon Spender just beat Benyon to the ball and Deasy was able to gather.

Great break from Torquay with Stevens crossing low for Benyon. The ball goes out for a corner on the right.
Barrow full back logan is now down having treatment. He may have twisted his ankle.

Hargreaves is really struggling now, and a substitution must be imminent.

Deasy gathers the ball right on his line after a back header by Paul Jones puts the Barrow keeper under pressure.
Thompson now appears to be wide on the left with Wroe in the middle.

Tyrone Thompson lets fly 25 yards out but it's high and wide.
Hargreaves looks to have hurt himself stretching for a tackle. It looks like a groin from here, if you see what we mean. He's limping it off by the look of it.
Barrow have just missed a great chance, with Spender lifting the ball into the box and Bond taking his time before volleying into the side netting.
That was a let-off.

No changes on either side as we begin the second half. The formation will be interesting.

HALF TIME GULLS 2-1 BARROW

What a strange half that was. With an unusual formation and with a number of players looking distinctly uncomfortable in unfamiliar positions, we are still ahead with a couple of cracking goals.
Do we stick with this formation for the second half?
Probably. You can't argue with a 2-1 lead.

There are two extra minutes to play, and we are laying siege to Barrow's goal. Benyon drives in a volley, but Deasy gets down to hang on.

GOAL - GULLS 2-1 BARROW

Elliot Benyon puts us back in front after 39 minutes. Danny Stevens cuts in from the right and angles the ball back into the box. Benyon gets his 12th goal of the season with a sharp finish back across the keeper

Great run into the box by little Danny, but his shot is blocked.
And Tim Sills is penalised for a push in the box when the general consensus is that Sills has been on the receiving end for most of the half.
We're in the 38th minute now.

Boyd drills a low free kick from the best part of 40 yards just wide of Bevan's right hand post. Boyd crosses for Bond, but his header is high over the bar.
At the other end Nicko crosses from the left. Hargreaves gets his head to it 15 yards out but can't direct it on target and it flies wide.

Stalemate at the moment. Our fast flowing start appears to have petered out. We have a lot of players looking ill at ease in unaccustomed positions.
Half an hour gone.

Wroe is over on the right now.
Nicko drives in a powerful cross from the left which Hargreaves tries to direct into the path of Benyon but Barrow scramble it clear.

Barrow's Jason Walker is off after treatment, but quickly back on again.
A very promising attack breaks down for us on the edge of the box.
Barrow break again but Mark Ellis gets to the ball ahead of Walker.
There are 22 minutes gone now.

Thompson appears to be playing through the middle for us, with Wroe on the left. He's a right-footer, but there must be some method to this.

GOAL GULLS 1-1 BARROW

Just when we were talking about it looking too easy, Jason Walker charges down a Hodges clearance wide on the Gulls left, races down the line and crosses low to the edge of the box.
Paul Brown reaches the ball first and drives it low to Bevan's left.
Good goal for them. Sucker punch for us.

Lovely link-up between Wroe and Hargreaves on the edge of the box but Barrow clear.
We are really up for this today, by the look of it. Let's hope we can keep it up for the full 90.

GOAL - GULLS 1-0 BARROW

Great goal in the 4th minute by Nicky Wroe. Tyrone Thompson breaks from defence down the centre, lays the ball off to Wroe in the left channel. Wroe cuts inside, steadies himself and shoots home right footed.
That's one of the best goal we've seen here this season.

Boyd shoots from a free kick in the first minute, but it's an easy gather for Bevan in the Torquay goal.
And Benyon races through on a flick by Sills. He tries to flick the ball over the ample figure of deasy in the Barrow goal but Deasy blocks.

Barrow kick off, playing towards the Ministand in the first half.

The teams are out, with the Gulls in gold and Barrow in white shirts with blue trim, blue shorts and white socks. Their numbers are big and black.

The sweepstake is a mighty four-quid-plus rollover, and I've gone for a 1-0 win for the Gulls. It's the first time these clubs have met for 39 years.
It was 1-1 that day, and Jimmy Dunne got the goal.

Brilliant sunshine here this afternoon and almost a shirt sleeves day.
The Gulls are warming up, with Sills jogging alongside Damien Davey. There are still obviously a few concerns over his calf injury.
