Devon derby ends in a score draw at Plainmoor

The Devon Derby between Exeter and Torquay at Plainmoor ended 1-1, thanks to penalties by Rene Howe and Alan Gow.

Bennett was penalised early in the match allowing Howe to convert, but Gow (pictured) drew a foul minutes from the end to offer the Grecians a lifeline.

He stepped up himself to slot in and earn City a point.

Exeter boss Paul Tisdale rang the changes ahead of the Devon Derby at Plainmoor.

With the pitch looking fairly torn up after a tough winter of flooding in Devon, the City manager withdrew Alan Gow, Matt Oakley andJimmy Keohane from the starting line-up.

In their place stepped Kevin Amankwaah and Tommy Doherty, along withGuillem Bauza who started to make a first appearance since a substitute cameo away at Bradford in November.

Amongst the substitutes for the Gulls was former Exeter man Martin Rice, while Steve Tully was the Grecians’ sole survivor from the play-off victory back in 2008.
