Torquay United secured a 1-0 away victory against Slough Town at Arbour Park on 7 February 2026, keeping the club firmly in the promotion race. The match was played on Arbour Park’s artificial surface, a 3G pitch known to be challenging for visiting sides.

After a goalless first half, Torquay increased their attacking pressure and broke the deadlock in the second half. Manager Paul Wotton praised his players’ patience and professionalism in seeing out a tight away win. Captain Matt Worthington’s leadership helped the team protect the slender lead until the final whistle.

The victory continues a positive run for the Gulls and reinforces the stability the club has enjoyed since the Bryn Consortium completed its takeover in 2024. A travelling contingent of Torquay supporters made the trip from Devon to back the team, and the result keeps Torquay well-placed in the National League South table as they prepare for their upcoming fixtures.
