Alicante B 1 FC Torrevieja 0 ... Torry travelled to Alicante B on Sunday and they must have felt confident before the game of getting a result from the side who are currently just one place off the bottom of the table.

In fact Alicante hadn’t won a game since last November, when they beat rivals Elche Illicitano on their own turf. Although the latter are just one point and one place above them in the table as it stands.

Torrevieja, for their part, were not in the best of form themselves, not having won in five games and just 8 points off the drop zone. But even so, this is a game that they should take maximum points from.

But, and I know it’s the mode to blame the referee, this time the ref was so poor that he was booed off pitch by both sets of fans. As it was Torry went down to a penalty 15 minutes into second half that was efficiently despatched and left Torry chasing the game with ten men once again.

Next week Torry entertain La Nucia who have hit some form of late and occupy the next place up in the league from Torry – three points would surely see them safe from the drop and allow the squad to relax a little before building again for next year.
