Torslanda continue to show some form. A 3-0 win.
Full games Bright, Harry Edge, Wooldridge & Parker-Price. No Kiwi goals though.

Other games are tonight.

On a personal level, Owen Parker-Price continues his strong start to the season though. Another assist for his sides first goal. That's his third in nine games, to go with a solitary goal of his own.

All said and done, that's a decent return for the lad in a promoted side.

Parker-Price was from memory a reserve for the Tokyo Olywhites squad. Hay seemed to rate him. The one guy from the current Torslanda crew, who looked like he might go onto bigger things. 

Bit late now at 25, and maybe he likes the lifestyle in Sweden, with likely a bit of kid's coaching on the side. Close to Declan, going way back to the Ole days.

Could be a slow burner ala Francis de Vries, who was 25/26 when his Varnamo side were in the same tier as Torslanda find themselves at the moment.

Might be a bit bold to assume Torslanda are likely to have the same sort of run that would see them promoted to the Superettan or even the Allsvenskan over the next couple of seasons mind you, But if he can keep churning out contributions on a personal level like what he's currently doing with a somewhat un-fancied side (a lot of commentators/people have picked them to drop back down this season) then there might be a few suitors who see a bit of value in him higher up the chain going into next season and beyond.

All pie in the sky sort of stuff at the moment though as it stands of course, but good to see him doing well. You never know who could be keeping tabs on his work - Teams in Sweden seem to keep an eye out on those in their own backyard so to speak.
