Rotherham Utd 1 Plymouth Argyle 1: Match report

IT was nearly a perfect homecoming for Ryan Taylor.

Much of the latter part of 2017 has been a nightmare for the forward, who was injured in Argyle's season opener at Peterbrough, and remained crocked until earlier this month.

After regaining his place in the side, he led the line at Rotherham United, his first club, in the town where he was born. And scored what looked like...

A school in Plymouth is joining forces with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and Plymouth City Council to make sure future generations in the city get the chance to play tennis in the winter months thanks to a record level of grassroots investment into the game.

Hele’s School in Plympton runs an all-year round tennis programme for 250 of its students including sessions for young...

Plymouth Argyle 2 Gillingham 1: Match report

TOUMANI Diagouraga timed his first Argyle goal to perfection, netting a last-minute winner to lift the Pilgrims off the bottom of Sky Bet League One.

Toums, as he is – thankfully – known by everyone, slotted home in front of the Devonport end after the Pilgrims, who took the lead through Joel Grant early in the second half, looked like they might have to settled for a share of the...

Bradford 3 Argyle 1: Match report

ARGYLE are out of the Emirates FA Cup following a cup-tie that defied the pre-conceived narrative.

The Pilgrims won at the same ground three weeks earlier thanks to a resolute defensive display. This time, they played some at-times scintillating football as they took the tie to Bradford, but a failure to strike at the right time cost them.

Romain Vincelot gave Bradford the lead...

Portsmouth 1 Argyle 0: Match report

GOALKEEPERS, the last line of defence, suffer the spotlight more than most. It comes with the job.

For the most part, Argyle’s gloveman Remi Matthews had a splendid game at Fratton Park, bailing out his team-mates, not for the first time since his emergency loan from Norwich, on several occasions.

It is a crying shame, but harsh reality, that his contribution to the 102nd...

Evans Halshaw Plymouth and Saltash aim to hit hole in one at charity golf day

Local Vauxhall retailers, Evans Halshaw Plymouth and Saltash, are proud to announce they sponsored a charity golf day in an attempt to raise much needed funds for St Luke’s Hospice.

Plymouth Argyle 0 Oxford United 4: Match report

AFTER six games unbeaten, the Greens’ early-season blues returned as a sixth red card of the campaign sent them on their way to an Armed Services Day defeat.

Ryan Edwards was dismissed, for the second time this season, when referee Graham Horwood awarded Oxford a 14th-minute penalty that fell into the ‘soft’ category and which was converted by Ryan Ledson.

The ten-men Pilgrims...
