Buckle hails soaring Gulls

Torquay manager Paul Buckle was delighted by the manner in which his team beat Northampton. Goals from Kevin Nicholson, Chris Zebroski and Elliot Benyon earned the Gulls a 3-0 win, and in the process extended their unbeaten run to nine league games. They have also now gone a club record of 781 minutes without conceding a league goal. Buckle said: "It's great that we have carried on where we left off last season really. "We were unbeaten in the last eight last season and as much as I am delighted that we have scored three goals, I am just as happy that we haven't conceded. "It's another clean sheet and also extends the club record for not conceding. "We have had a good pre-season and now we have carried it into the season. Now we look forward to getting Reading here in the Carling Cup on Wednesday."
