Road to Wembley - Torquay see off Walsall

Well Walsall didn't last very long as our N&R Road to Wembley side. The Sadlers lost to League Two side Torquay in the 2nd Rd of the FA Cup thanks to Billy Kee's first-half penalty.

Kee scored after Ashley Hemmings was felled in the area by Darryl Westlake. Saddlers keeper Jimmy Walker had earlier made superb stops to deny Chris Zebrowski and Kevin Nicholson.

Walsall had several chances to equalise but Matt Richards, Will Grigg and Andy Butler were all unable to find a way past Gull's stopper Scott Bevan.

Attendance: 2,334

Torquay were rewarded with a home tie against Carlisle United, hardly a money spinner though with the two teams situated in England about as far apart as you can get.

More on Torquay soon.
