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.

GULLS v BARROW

The big news is that tim Sills is fit to start, and Iyseden Christie is fit to take his place on the bench.
Lee Mansell and Matt Green are dropped. Sills is in for Green and Danny Stevens in for Mansell.
We will line up 4=4-2 although the midfield four could be a bit fluid. we are Bevan; Robertson, Hodges, Ellis, Nicholson; Stevens, Wroe, Hargreaves, Thompson; Sills, Benyon. On the bench are Mansell, Carlisle, Green, Carayol and Christie.
Barrow are also 4-4-2, with Deasy; Logan, Spender, Jones, Holness; McGill, Bond, Boyd, Brown; Walker, Hunt.
On the bench they have Kerr, Woodyatt, Sheridan, Bayliss and Steele.
Referee is Ian Cooper from Kent.
