 A game that was fast and free flowing was a credit to both sides.The game was end to end with chances falling to both sides but the better ones to Argyle and they took the lead on 38 minutes from a strong run and superb finish from Alex Battle.

 The lead lasted just 1 minute when from a Sam Hughes cross from the right Ryan Richards bundled the ball home to make it 1-1 and that is how it stayed for the remainder of the half.

 The Ashes took the lead on 73 minutes when once again Hughes was the provider for Richards to score.The lead lasted just 2 minutes when Luke Jephcott scored at the near post.Just 7 minutes later the game changed when Ryan Richards was sent off for what was a wreckless rather than a malicious challenge on the Argyle keeper.Just 3 minutes later and Argyle took advantage of the extra man and take the lead threw Klaidi Loloas.

 With time running out what seemed to be a handball in the Argyle area and a clear penalty was given as a free-kick to the Ashes outside the area which the Ashes could not turn into a goal and so Argyle picked up the 3 points to remain top of the league.A good entertaining game for all the spectators for the encounter.
