Richard Luscombe IT was a pleasure to welcome over 180 coaches, players and parents to the Tribute Lounge at Home Park, as Argyle Community Trust’s Girls Advanced Development Centre teams (ADC) and Plymouth Argyle Ladies gathered to celebrate a great season.
The decision to bring the age groups and senior teams together was a clear example of the all-inclusive approach by the club, with our clear pathway from the very youngest through to the Ladies first-team.
The evening was opened by Argyle Ladies Chairman Christopher French welcoming all and giving an appraisal of the excellent season both Ladies teams have had, with the first-team and reserves being runners-up in their respective divisions and both teams having the league top scorers.

After the awards evening, Argyle Ladies manager Travis Rowland praised the spirit of all the girls within the club: “I am so lucky in having a bunch of girls, who are pulling in the same direction. You often get little groups forming, which can cause friction. Not with this bunch of girls, who are all buying into what we are trying to do.”
A final word of thanks to our magnificent group of partners for donating a number of raffle prizes to complete a special evening.
