Former Coventry City youngster Craig Reid scored his first Football League hat-trick tonight but still finished on the losing side.
Reid had given Aldershot Town, managed by former City loanee Dean Holdsworth, a 2-0 lead at Torquay United with a goal in the 27th minute and then a penalty ten minutes later.
When he completed his hat-trick two minutes into the second half, Aldershot must have thought they had won but goals from Bodin, Jarvis, Yeoman and Howe.
