UPDATE: Plymouth Argyle Women delivered a stunning performance today, defeating Gwalia United 5-1 at Home Park, extending their unbeaten home streak in the FA Women’s National League. The team, led by manager Ryan Perks, showcased a relentless offensive display with goals from Tamara Wilcock, Tianna Teisar, Ellie Noble, and two from Charlotte Whitmore.
The match, held on October 15, 2023, saw Argyle take control from the outset, applying early pressure that paid off. Wilcock opened the scoring in the 36th minute, capitalizing on a corner delivered by Roisin Kivel. “We got what we came for with the win,” Wilcock stated post-match. “It was a special moment to score after my injury.”
Despite an early scare from Gwalia, including a close free-kick from Beth McGowan, Argyle’s offensive prowess soon became evident. Teisar doubled the lead shortly after halftime with a header, followed by Noble’s stunning left-footed shot that curled into the top corner.
Gwalia managed to pull one back through a goal from substitute Casi Gregson, but Argyle quickly responded. Whitmore struck twice in quick succession, first slipping a shot through the goalkeeper’s legs, then finishing with precision into the far corner.
Manager Marie Hourihan praised his squad’s resilience, saying, “To score four after the break shows the quality and belief in this group.” He emphasized the team’s growing standards, noting players were disappointed not to keep a clean sheet even after a dominant 5-1 victory.
The emphatic win not only solidifies Argyle’s position but also builds momentum ahead of their upcoming FAWNL Cup tie against Oxford United. “The players love playing here,” Hourihan added, highlighting the team’s strong home record.
As excitement builds for the next match, Argyle fans are encouraged to rally behind the team, as they prepare to face Oxford in what promises to be another thrilling encounter.
