Resilient Horsham FC earn hard-fought draw at Torquay – the match in 33 pictures

The hosts took the lead on 13 minutes when Deon Moore’s deflected near-post effort somehow beat returning Hornets goalkeeper Sam Howes.

But Horsham, roared on by 145 travelling supporters, netted a hard-earned equaliser in the second half. Greg Luer’s excellent arrowed shot zipped past Gulls stopper Toby Savin to draw the visitors level on 54 minutes – and earn Dominic Di Paola’s side a superb point on the road.

Horsham welcome very early league leaders Salisbury – who put five past Hampton & Richmond Borough on the opening day – to the Fusion Aviation Community Stadium this Saturday in the Hornets’ first home league game of the season.
