Torquay United won 3-0 at Walton and Hersham to ease pressure after a difficult week.

Torquay United defeated Walton and Hersham 3-0 on Saturday, with goals from Matt Jay, Cody Cooke and Jacob Beaumont-Clark. The win came after a difficult week that included a 1-0 defeat at AFC Totton on Tuesday.

Matt Jay gave Torquay the lead in the 18th minute with a lobbed finish over the goalkeeper. Cody Cooke scored with 18 minutes remaining, described as a header from a Dom Bernard cross, before Jacob Beaumont-Clark sealed the victory with a right-footed shot.
