Brad Ash's fine goalscoring form continued against his former club

Torquay United moved up to fourth place in National League South with a 3-1 win against Weymouth at Plainmoor.

Brett McGavin gave the Gulls a fourth-minute lead with a fine free-kick before Brad Ash scored for the fourth time in five games after 31 minutes.

Elliott Bolton pulled a goal back for the Terras shortly before half-time, but Lewis Collins netted Torquay's third with 14 minutes to go.

Five minutes later Weymouth had Calvin Brooks sent off for a second booking.

The Gulls are a point off third-placed Hampton & Richmond and a further point second-placed Maidstone with leaders Yeovil five points above the Gulls with two games in hand.

"I'm proud of the boys," Torquay boss Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Devon.

"We've had some good results tonight elsewhere so we can't complain about the whole night for Torquay United."
