Torquay earn draw at fellow high-fliers Eastbourne

Paul Wotton's side have lost just twice in 11 league games this season

Torquay United manager Paul Wotton said he was pleased with his side as they drew 1-1 at fellow National League South high-fliers Eastbourne Borough.

George Alexander gave the hosts a 34th-minute lead but former Plymouth Argyle youngster Finley Craske equalised three minutes later.

The point sees both sides drop down the table after Truro City's win over Hampton and Richmond - Eastbourne are third and Torquay fifth, although the Gulls have a game in hand.

"I thought we were relatively comfortable throughout the game," Wotton told BBC Radio Devon.

"We played good football at times, I don't think either side had glaring chances to be honest with you.

"I did feel in the last 10 minutes of the game we were coming on strong, I did feel maybe we'd nick something.

"The goal we conceded was a mistake on our part which we've got to get out of the habit of doing.

"Other than that I felt really comfortable today that they weren't going to score from open play, which is a big compliment to our boys away from home."
