Drama From the Spot

A terrific Home Park season concluded with the Pilgrims smashing five past Hartlepool and then that thrilling play-off win over Portsmouth, but there was also plenty of action during the interval.

Argyle Community Trust staged their final Kinder +Sport Move and Learn penalty shootout during half-time of the Hartlepool game, and it was another thriller, as St Peter’s RC Primary School edged past Widewell Primary School with an 8-7 victory.

Both schools were given the chance to participate in the shootout after completing the six-week Kinder +Sport Move and Learn programme, which has proven to have a positive impact on youngsters by using sport to improve their appreciation of the need for a healthy lifestyle.

The children involved watched the game from the acclaimed Family Stand area at Home Park, taking part in mini football matches, air hockey, pool, boxing, table tennis, and table football.
