From 1985 to 1996, the reserves played in a midweek league for reserve teams. From 1985 to 1992 this was the South West Counties League under a variety of sponsors. From 1992 to 1996, the Football Combination operated a second division which included mainly the same clubs. The second division, including Torquay, returned for one season in 1999/2000. There was also a short-lived league for  reserve teams in 2001/02 which  included Plymouth Argyle, Taunton and Team Bath..

The playing record for some of those seasons is :
