New Year’s Day racing at Exeter Racecourse

Exeter Racecourse looks set to share in jump racing’s success story with pre-sales for its traditional New Year’s Day meeting ahead of its last January 1 fixture in 2012.

Both Premier and Grandstand & Paddock tickets have seen strong pre-sales. There has also been a recent swathe of abandonments due to frosty conditions, and with temperatures set to rise in time for Thursday’s...

Plymouth 1 Oxford Utd 2: Match report

Argyle suffered their second home defeat of the Sky Bet League 2 season, in front of their second highest crowd of the campaign, after two second half goals earned Oxford United a rare win on their travels.

The attendance inside Home Park was marginally over 11,000, but after a third of the match 11 turned into 10 on the pitch. Teenager Aaron Bentley was sent off just over half an hour...

Newport 2 Plymouth 0: Match report

Considering Argyle’s last defeat in a Boxing Day fixture came back in 1997, you would be forgiven for forgetting some of the important names and faces involved on that fateful day. The figure most responsible for our loss 17 years later, however, is certainly a recognisable one.

Chris Zebroski, who started his professional career with the Pilgrims in 2005, scored in the ninth minute,...

Argyle 3 Dagenham 0: Match report

Whatever Dagenham & Redbridge decide to do to wile away their long journey east after a 3-0 defeat at Home Park, it is safe to say the answer will probably not be 'read'.

They will be utterly sick of the sound of that syllable, after a double from Reuben Reid, either side of a strike from namesake Bobby, saw off the struggling Daggers.

The two Reids, along with the terrific...

Northampton 2 Argyle 3: Match report

ARGYLE restated their Sky Bet League 2 promotion credentials in some style as goals from Peter Hartley, Andy Kellett and Lewi Alessandra gave the Pilgrims an away win that should have been more complete and comfortable than it eventually was.

From the moment Hartley headed home Bobby Reid’s corner after 114 seconds, the destination of the three points seemed to be Argyle’s. Relaxed by...

Sheffield United 3 Argyle 0: Match report

THE twelve days of Christmas are around the corner, we are told; this FA Cup game resulted in three tense pens - two past the keeper's gloves - and no Argyle to be found in round three.

Sheffield United of Sky Bet League 1 advanced at the expense of Argyle in an encounter that hinged on shots from the penalty mark.

Normally, a penalty shoot-out comes at the end of a drawn...

Plymouth Argyle 1 York City 1

IF this season is going to be one to write home about for Argyle, a lot of the credit will be down to a couple of good Reids.

Many plaudits have already come the way of leading scorer Reuben, and many are surely due to him before this interesting season is out, but the impact that midfielder Bobby Reid is having in his temporary spells from Bristol City are proving a vital cog in the...

Double success for Plymouth swimmers

Matthew, a second-...
