Following another round of enthralling action in the National League South on Tuesday evening – this time not involving The Gulls – the permutations ahead of the final two games of the regular season are now at least a little clearer.
Of primary interest to the Yellow Army was a thrilling match in Upminster, where Hornchurch battled back from falling two goals down to Chelmsford, before a late leveller for the visitors saw the action-packed encounter end in a 3-3 draw.
That result between two of Torquay’s promotion rivals saw Jimmy Ball’s resurgent side remain in 3rd position on goal difference from Hornchurch.
Although finishing 2nd and 3rd in the final standings does provide those two sides with a guaranteed pathway through to a home semi-final in the Play-Offs and therefore bypass the Quarter-Final ‘Eliminator’ stage of the post-season action, there’s still plenty of other possible outcomes.
One look at the current NLS table above shows that with all teams still having six points to play for, United are just four points off Worthing in top spot, with the league leaders also boasting a vastly-superior goal difference.
If you view your glasses as half-empty rather than half-full, it’s also true that The Gulls are four points ahead of Maidenhead, who currently occupy the dreaded 8th place – missing out on the Play-Offs altogether. But enough about that.
Be there and make the difference!
Ahead of our final home game of the season (regular) against Hemel Hempstead this Saturday (18/04/26 3pm KO), United now know that victory against the Tudors will guarantee themselves a place in the end-of-season action for a second successive season.
With the arrival of new manager Ball seeing Torquay roar back into form during a four-match winning run and score a stunning sixteen goals in the process, United have arguably become the division’s great entertainers during the past few weeks.
With a top-three place also now within their own hands, and 1st place still to be decided, Saturday’s game is absolutely vital if they are to finish 2025/26 with something tangible to celebrate though.
With home advantage proving so influential to the Gulls players over the past two seasons, we’re urging anyone of Plainmoor-perusasion to join us here on Saturday and cheer the lads onto another massive three points.
Seats nearing a sell-out for saturday’s big match
