Footymad preview History of the Northampton Town v Torquay United fixture

Northampton Town prepare to entertain Torquay United at Sixfields on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cobblers are clearly on top, having won 32 and lost only 11 of the 59 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was less than a year ago, in March 2011, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Two match.
