Torquay United Women FC are closing in on a league title following a commanding 4-1 victory against their closest rivals, Forest Green Rovers, on 12 April 2026. The win maintains the team’s unbeaten record in the Shield Services Group South West Regional Women’s Football League Premier Division, where they currently sit at the top of the table with 38 points from 14 matches.
Manager Ryan Perks, who took charge of the side in July 2025, has guided the team to a strong position with only a few weeks remaining in the season. While Forest Green Rovers have three games in hand, they currently trail the league leaders by 14 points, making it increasingly likely that the title will head to Torquay.
The recent victory over Forest Green featured two goals from leading scorer Connie Pengelly, alongside contributions from Beth Everson and Tee Kaptein. The squad now turns its attention to an away fixture against Saltash, which is set to take place on Thursday 16 April 2026. A victory in this match would extend the team’s lead over second-placed Sherborne Town to eight points.
The club is also preparing for a Women’s Football Festival at Plainmoor on 26 April 2026. The event is set to feature a variety of activities, including junior matches and walking football, culminating in a senior women’s match against Gloucester City. This festival is part of the ongoing effort to highlight the growth of the women’s game within the local community.
