Asa Hall's winner at Boreham Wood earned Torquay a first victory in nine matches to keep their slim National League survival hopes alive.

Hall steered home from a Kevin Dawson cross on the half-hour and it proved enough to take three precious points for the Gulls, while hitting the hosts' play-off aspirations.

Torquay could have doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time when Frank Nouble was played through, but he was denied by a brilliant save from goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore, who parried over the crossbar.

The hosts, chasing their first win in three matches, pressed for an equaliser, with Dennon Lewis finding the side-netting and Zak Brunt denied by Mark Halstead in the visitors' goal.

But Torquay managed to negotiate seven minutes of added time to claim the win that moves them six points from safety.
