Match Report from This is Plymouth
Torpoint Athletic...1 Odd Down...1 Att N/A
HOPEFULLY Torpoint have not missed their chance to claim a home tie against Clevedon Town after a draw at The Mill which means the Tamarsiders will be travelling to Bath tomorrow.
A long journey to the Lew Hill Memorial Ground faces Stuart Dudley's side, but the Tamarsiders' boss will probably be thinking that his side should have made sure of victory on home soil.
The home side had two good chances in the opening seven minutes as Darren Veale's through ball saw Josh Grant's shot saved by goalkeeper Andrew King before Billy Allen's pass put in Brian Stacey to shoot just wide from 10 yards.
Odd Down replied with David Cooper's good run and shot forcing a save from Martin Piper.
But back came Torpoint with Mike Roberts' solo run ending with King saving well from his 10-yard drive.
The visitors were always dangerous on the break and Piper had to rush out of his goal to block Richard Dawley before Torpoint finally opened the scoring on 33 minutes.
The pacy Thornton ran past two defenders before sending an exquisite lob over King from 15 yards.
However, it was a moment of slack marking that allowed Cooper to tap home Dawley's left-wing cross, from four yards, on the stroke of half-time.
The second half saw Roberts shoot over the bar, Thornton shoot wide and Allen's free-kick curl just wide from 25 yards.
But it was not all one way, with Dawley firing over bar from 25 yards before two late chances fell to substitutes Mark Waugh and Justin Pritchard, which failed to find the net.
