HT: Chesterfield 3 v 0 Torquay United

Total dominance from the Spireites. Scoreline does not flatter them one bit. Two for Dallas, including a thunderbolt, and one for Banks. McCallum has been immense, won everything. Putting on a show.

But Banks fires over from around the penalty spot with the outside of his right foot.

Town want more.

DALLAS AGAIN!!!

It’s 3-0 on 40 minutes. An absolute rocket from distance from Dallas. What a hit. His second of the game.
