Torro on the verge of a great escape

Can Torro possibly perform another Houdine act and stay in the Premier? They ensured that they will be in contention right to the last day with this victory over Albion on Sunday. It looked ominous for Torro early on when they conceded the opening goal. Whatever Torro manager Joe Price said to his troops had a very positive effect. Liam Gilsenan equalised with a powerful drive and on the hour's mark Peadar Farrelly slotted home from the penalty spot. Best for Torro were Derek McKeever, Tom Fleming and Colm Doggett. Torro - S Gilsenan; T Fleming, L Gilsenan, D McKeever, C Doggett, R Dolan, M McKeever, P Farrelly, A Englishby, D McKeever, C Gilsenan. Sub - T Hanlon for Englishby.
