Rovers made tough work of beating Torquay United in this League Two fixture, but eventually secured all three points thanks to a second half winner from Tom Eaves. The Gas were two goals up inside of 17 minutes, thanks to strikes from Eaves and Matthew Lund, and when Joe Oastler was sent off for a second bookable offence on the half hour mark it looked like it was going to be a comfortable victory for the Bristol side. Torquay included three ex-Rovers players in their starting eleven. As well as the goalscorers, Howe and Downes, 'keeper Michael Poke played between the sticks.

| - Rovers made tough work of beating Torquay United in this League Two fixture, but eventually secured all three points thanks to a second half winner from Tom Eaves. The Gas were two goals up inside of 17 minutes, thanks to strikes from Eaves and Matthew Lund, and when Joe Oastler was sent off for a second bookable offence on the half hour mark it looked like it was going to be a comfortable victory for the Bristol side. After the break a rejuvenated Torquay side pulled a goal back 8 minutes into the second half, and six minutes later they scored an unlikely equaliser – both goals coming from former Rovers men, Rene Howe and Aaron Downes respectively. Eaves would prove to be the hero of the day however when he grabbed the winner, and his second of the game, 14 minutes from time. Torquay included three ex-Rovers players in their starting eleven. As well as the goalscorers, Howe and Downes, 'keeper Michael Poke played between the sticks.
