Torquay United progressed to the fourth round of the FA Trophy thanks to a 2-0 win over Horsham at Plainmoor.

Brad Ash's glancing header four minutes after half-time put the Gulls ahead in the rearranged tie - the original game on Saturday was postponed because of Storm Darragh.

Dan Hayfield's low drive from the edge of the box with 21 minutes left sealed victory for the Gulls against their seventh-tier opponents.

Torquay will travel to face Southern League Premier Division South side Gosport Borough in the last 32 of the competition on 4 January.

"I think we're in a good place," manager Paul Wotton told BBC Radio Devon after the win.

"The boys are working hard and, even though it wasn't pretty, it keeps that momentum going."
