Yeovil Town crashed out of the F.A.Cup at the 1st. Round stage for the second year running, after going down 4-1 to Torquay United at Plainmoor.
Two goals a piece from Chris Todd and Danny Stevens in each half did the damage after Yeovil had gone ahead through a Marcus Stewart goal.
Yeovil manager Russell Slade made three changes to the side that had drawn with Cheltenham with Lee Peltier, Marcus Stewart and Craig Alcock coming in for the injured Matty Rose, Ritchie Jones and the rested Paul Warne.
As expected, Torquay flew out of the traps putting Yeovil under constant pressure for the first twenty minutes.
Zebroski shot from the 18 yard line tested Mildenhall and if Yeovil needed a warning this was it.
Torquay continued their onslaught with a Robertson header on target but Mildenhall pushed that effort around the post.
A series of corners kept Yeovil under pressure and there was not a minute's peace for the defence but with Forbes, Skiverton and Guyett on top of their games the home side were left frustrated.
Somewhat against the run of play Yeovil went ahead in the 20th. minute. Yeovil won a corner and Anthony Barry's out swinging corner was met by Scott Guyett.
Gulls keeper Rice could only parry the chance straight to Marcus Stewart who blasted the ball home from five yards out.
The goal knocked back the home side and on 27 minutes Anthony Barry came so close to making it 2-0.
The ball fell to the midfielder in a central positionhis shot blistering shot cannoned off the cross bar to safety and the chance was gone.
For the next 15 to 20 minutes Yeovil steadied the ship and looked in control although chances were still hard to come by.
Another good Yeovil chance came in the 36th minute again from a Barry corner which was met by Guyett at the far post. His header was cleared but Nathan Jones was able to put the ball back in for Terry Skiverton but his header was inches over again.
With half time approaching Torquay stepped up their game and from a Nicholson corner Todd was able to head home into the bottom corner.
Then in a minute Torquay were in front, when following some crazy defending the ball ran loose to Stevens who knocked it home to send Yeovil in behind at the break.
Having survived a tempestuous first 20 minutes and then going in front Yeovil had done the hard bit but in the space of 2 minutes they had given themselves a mountain to climb in the second half.
Giving a Conference side that sort of encouragement is asking for trouble and against a side like Torquay who are very much the form side it was suicide.
Torquay started well again and Zebroski had a shot blocked by Forbes and then Stevens should have done better when he blasted over from a good position.
The expected reaction from Yeovil didn't seem to be coming and the home side continued to force the pace.
Zebroski was proving a constant danger and on the hour a mazy run should have brought something but he somehow put his shot wide.
On a rare Yeovil attack Marcus Stewart headed over from close in after a Barry corner.
You couldn't accuse the Yeovil players of not trying but there was no quality and they were clearly feeling the pressure.
Slade brought on Paul Warne for James Walker in the 56th. minute to try and turn the tide but it didn't take long for Torquay to extend their lead.
On 64 minutes Torquay went further in front when a long range effort from Mansell somehow deflected off Lloyd Owusu into the path of Todd who tapped it home to put the tie out of Yeovil's reach.
Yeovil committed more men up front in a vain effort to pull something out of the tie and a strong penalty appeal for hand ball was turned down by M.I.B Mr.Penn.
With so many players pushed up a fourth goal was always a possibility and when Hill flicked the ball on to Stevens the Torquay man was able to race clear and slide the ball past Mildenhall to complete Yeovil's misery.
Now with only one day to prepare for an equally difficult tie in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at Swansea Russell Slade will have a real task on his hands to lift his players- but lift them he must.
