TORRYS OPPONENTS THIS WEEKEND |
Torry are at home to LA NUCIA on Sunday kick-off 5.00 pm. La Nucia are in 5th place in the table chasing a play-off spot for promotion. They are on 55 points, 5 points behind 4th placed Castellon with a game in hand. On the road they have won 6, drawn 8 and lost 3. In their starting line-up should be ex-Torry favourite Petu.
Torry should have a full squad to select from except for Villanueva who may be still out through suspension. The Manager Joserra will have to watch this match from the stands. If Torry can win then it will go a long, long way to easing their relegation worries.

Last Saturday Torry travelled north to the outskirts of the city of Valencia to play bottom of the table Catarroja who short of a miracle will be relegated at the end of the season. At home they have won only one game all season. In their last home game they lost 5-0 to 2nd bottom Crevillente but last Sunday pulled off the shock result of the day winning 2-1 at league leaders Novelda. Torry were without the suspended Jorge and Villanueva but welcomed back Rafa after serving his one match suspension. The manager Joserra was also serving the first of a 2 match touchline ban. Koeman was made captain for the day on his return to the club he played for last season Torry really needed to win this one to try and ease their relegation fears.
Torrys starting line-up: Tur, Vicente, Juanfran, Rafa, Dani Meseguer, Abel (Burguillos, 52 '), Cuco Ros (Guillem, 87'), Manu Amores, Luis Carlos (Sergio, 76 '), Gasch, Koeman.
Torry started well and had good efforts from Luis Carlos and Koeman well saved by the Catarroja keeper in the 10th and 13th minute respectively. Torry then had a close shave when a powerful shot from distance by a Catarroja forward struck the cross bar and the rebound was gratefully gathered by Tur. In the 26th minute Torry opened their account when a Dani free-kick was deflected by the wall and Luis Carlos seized on the loose ball and struck the ball into the back of the net for a GOALLLLL to Torry 0-1. Torry kept up the pressure and Gasch headed just wide from a Manu cross. Torry then extended their lead in the 39th minute from a Dani free-kick from the right which evaded everyone a curled into the far corner of the net for a GOALLLLL and 0-2 to Torry. Gasch then had a golden opportunity after being played in and presented with a one on one with the opposition keeper but struck his shot straight at the keeper. 0-2 to Torry at the break. The 2nd half started in lively fashion with end to end stuff. In the 59th Catarroja reduced the deficit with a headed GOALLLLL into the back of the net from a corner 1-2 to Torry with Torry keeper Tur at fault for not attacking the ball in decisively. Torry responded almost immediately when in the 60th minute, after a quick Torry break, Gasch lashed the ball into the back of the net for a GOALLLLL to Torry 1-3 to restore Torry’s two goal advantage. Catarroja threw caution to the wind and pushed men forward and JuanFran made an important block and Javi Tur a good save to deny Catarroja. Torry were still dangerous going forward on the counter and Koeman went close and then Luis Carlos even closer when his chip hit the underside of the cross-bar and rolled agonisingly along the line before being cleared. Koeman was then denied a penalty after being upended in the box. The game came to an end after a thoroughly entertaining encounter with Torry victorious. Substitute Burguillos and Manu Amores both received a .
As a result of the win Torry move out of the relegation zone up to 15th place and 3 points clear of the 4th and final relegation spot. It is very tight at the bottom with no side in the lower half of the table safe yet from relegation with 6 games apiece to play. Torry’s next opponents are 5th placed La Nucia who are chasing a play-off place for promotion. The game is at home and kicks off at 5.00 pm at the Nelson Mandela. Try to be there and get behind Torry in their quest for safety and a mid-table finish.
