TORQUAY Colts showed how they have improved over the season in a rematch with Paignton on the Recreation Ground.
Back in September the Cherries ran up a 62-14 win over the Tics at Queens Park.
Torquay's young side, comprised mostly of U17s, have been learning all the time and were only pipped 17-5 second time around.
Torquay opened the scoring, after five minutes when a well-worked drive by their forwards ended in Jake Byrne scoring in the corner.
It took Paignton 20 minutes, to get their first try of the afternoon, through Myles Ritchie.
Torquay's pack had the edge over Paignton, but the Cherries' game plan, of moving the ball quickly through their backs, put pressure on the home team, who did well to keep it to 5-5 at the break.
In the second half, Paignton made a change in the centre and the strong running of the replacement, Dan Sanders, proved too much.
He scored two tries in 10 minutes with an impressive turn of pace. The second try was converted by Sam Hedges.
