Phoenix net community grant for new kit and equipment

A newly formed netball club in Mutley will be getting its own kit and equipment for 2014, thanks to a community grant from local ward councillor Chaz Singh.

Phoenix Netball Club currently has to borrow bibs, balls and cones from Plymouth College, where it trains, but the £125 grant means it can start the New Year with its own kit bag.

Established in September, the club has...

Port Vale 2 Plymouth Argyle 2

Argyle arguably deserved more than to just simply stay in the FA Cup as one of the fourth-round ‘or’ options after thoroughly outplaying their Sky Bet League 1 hosts on their own patch before having to settle for a share of the spoils.

The Pilgrims dominated the first half to such an extent that it was almost a crime that they found themselves 2-0 down at the interval.

They...

AFC Wimbledon 1 Argyle 1

Argyle’s ultimate away adventure of 2013 matched the excitement of their penultimate one as Christmas Sunday provided late drama.

Leading scorer Reuben Reid netted his 12th goal of the season two minutes from time to maintain the Pilgrims’ unbeaten Christmas run.

Dons’ forward Michael Smith’s header two minutes after half-time had looked like proving the difference between two...

Cornish Pirates 10 Plymouth Albion 3

2013 finished on a losing note for Plymouth Albion when they were beaten in the cross Tamar clash by the Cornish Pirates at the Mennaye Field.

On a pitch that was in relatively good condition after all the recent rain both defences were on top and the game was decided by a single try in the first half scored by ex Albion prop Jack Andrew.

The match won’t live long in the...

Oxford United 2 Argyle 3

FIVE goals in a sensational second half at the Kassam Stadium gave Argyle a memorable win over league leaders Oxford United, writes Rob McNichol.

United had a five-figure crowd for a fixture they had termed ‘The Big Match’, and after a well-contested but tight first half, Argyle scored within a minute of the restart via Caolan Lavery.

Oxford levelled with a long-range effort...

Nathan Thomas signs for Argyle

Christmas came early for Argyle and the Green Army in the shape of winger Nathan Thomas.

Free agent Nathan, 19, signed for the Pilgrims on Christmas Eve following a successful trial at Home Park.

The former Sunderland apprentice has joined Argyle until the end of the season and has straight into the Pilgrims’ squad for their Boxing Day match at Sky Bet League 2 leaders Oxford...

Plymouth Albion team for Boxing Day clash

For the Boxing Day clash away at the Cornish Pirates (kick off 3pm), Plymouth Albion have made six changes, two of them positional, from the team that took the field against Munster A in the British & Irish Cup.

The only change in the backs is the return of top try scorer Tom Bowen who replaces Lewis Warner.

In the front row dual registered hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie has...

Plymouth Argyle 2 Bury 1

Argyle returned to winning ways as Reuben Reid’s late second-half goal saw them go into Christmas with three valuable points in the sack.

Reid netted his ninth goal of the season from close range after fine work from Lewis Alessandra to give the Pilgrims their first win in three Sky Bet League 2 matches.

The Pilgrims had been unable to build on a good early start in which...

Chesterfield 2 Plymouth Argyle 0

Argyle boss John Sheridan could not repeat his victorious winning return to his old territory for a second consecutive season, as his Pilgrims lost to high-flying Chesterfield, writes Rob McNichol.

At the end of last season, Argyle came to the Proact Stadium and comprehensively outplayed their counterparts in Sheridan’s first return to Derbyshire since he was let go by the Spireites...

3rd round FA Cup tie at Port Vale moved to 5 January

Argyle's third-round FA Cup tie at Port Vale has been moved to Sunday, January 5 at 3pm – on the toss of a coin.

The match has been switched from the previous day because Vale’s Potteries’ neighbours, Premier League Stoke City, have also been drawn at home the same weekend, to Leicester City.

With no agreement possible between the two clubs, the FA decided who had Saturday...
