On Saturday 7th March, myself, Ben, Aaron and Coby were all at Home Park to watch Plymouth Argyle vs Macclesfield Town. It turned out to be the last match they played before the country was shut down due to the covid-19 pandemic, so we were lucky there!!
Ben actually went with Plymouth Kolts as it was the DJM League day at Argyle, so he was dropped off well before kick off as they organised a 5-a-side match at Goals and some party food beforehand. Typically though, he went over on his ankle again during the kick around and had to sit out a fair portion of it. They all then went inside and had some food before going over to Argyle to watch the game.
In the meantime, I had been given 3 tickets from one of our Directors at work, so I took Aaron and Coby to watch. We were sat in the Lyndhurst Stand and had a pretty good view and the boys seemed to love it, especially Aaron who doesn’t usually like football too much! They were both cheering when Argyle scored all 3 of the goals to win 3-0. Aaron seemed to take a shine to George Cooper who was playing on the left wing in the second half and scored 2 cracking goals where we were right down the eyeline so saw them both fly in. He was even joining in his song ‘Oh Georgy Georgy etc etc’ haha.
After the game, we met up with Ben and Marcus (Kolts coach) to get Ben, only to find out that he had left his shin pads and boot bag in Lewis’ car at Goals, and to find out about his sore ankle which was causing him to limp. He seemed OK though.
So, it was a good afternoon for all of us and Ben enjoyed his time with his team mates and I enjoyed my time with Aaron and Coby, and Argyle won easily which made it all the better!!
