Comments:
Unused substitutes: Ryan Northmore, Marcus Richardson and Steve Tully. League Position: 22nd Some sources, including the match reports on both clubs' official web sites, credited Torquay's goal to Kevin Hill. However, the match report in the Torquay Herald Express clearly stated: "But when the equaliser came, it was Holmes' cross which forced it, Sambrook trying to flick the ball out for a corner under pressure from Hill and only succeeding in turning it into his own net." Rushden manager Brian Talbot was quoted as saying after the game: "An own-goal cost us the points. To be fair to Sambrook, though, it was a very good ball into the box and difficult to deal with."Goals:
