Swindon 2 - 0 Torquay

Swindon saw off Torquay to progress to the southern area quarter-final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

Elliott Benyon had a great chance to put the visitors ahead in the first minute but David Lucas saved well.

The hosts quickly bounced back as David Ball gave them the lead by firing into the top corner from six yards out to open his Town account.

Vincent Pericard got his first home goal to seal the win as he slotted under Danny Potter from 16 yards.

Swindon Town boss Danny Wilson told BBC Wiltshire:
"You've got to tip your hat to Torquay as they came to play football and at times I thought their passing and moving was exceptional.

"The goal gave us some impetus and after that we played some excellent stuff and the counter-attacking football was terrific.

"The back four looked really solid for us today and that gave us the confidence to go forward and give the service to our three strikers."
