Torquay manager Paul Buckle says on-loan Town striker Ronan Murray's performance was “outstanding” during the Gulls’ 2-1 victory over Cheltenham at Plainmoor last night. The Irishman netted his first goal for his loan club from close range with 20 minutes remaining.
Buckle said: "Murray was excellent, different class with his touch and link-up play. He is a goalscorer and he's up and running now.
"He was outstanding and it will do him no harm at all to get off the mark because not a lot had been falling for him in front of goal. He's also a cracking kid to work with.
"Unfortunately, we lose him on Friday for the Republic of Ireland U21s but it is credit to him, and shows how well he's doing that he's been called up.
"He will go there full of confidence after getting the winner, he thoroughly deserved the goal and we thoroughly deserved the win.”
Murray left Plainmoor straight after last night’s game to get a taxi to Gatwick in order to catch a plane to Portugal for the Irish U21 side’s friendly in Agueda on Friday.
