Argyle Youngsters Win Oakham Tournament

Argyle’s Under-10s were victorious at the Oakham Tournament in Rutland from Monday to Wednesday, 8-10 April. 

In the group stage, the teams played a series of 8v8 20-minute games in a group stage format, with Argyle finishing third and qualifying for the final four. From there, the young Greens, coached by George Roberts and Ricardo Lanzana, got past AFC Wimbledon to reach the final, where they beat Newcastle United.  

Argyle also took under-9s and under-11s teams to the tournament, organised by Specialist Soccer. Both reached the final stage, and both finished third. 

Argyle Academy Manager Phil Stokes said: “It was a brilliant few days for some of our young players, getting brilliant experience of playing tournament football. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, and the lads were a credit to themselves and the football club.  

“We would like to extend a huge thank you to the 50/50 lottery, whose help and support has assisted us being able to attend this tournament.”
