on substitute Connor Evans. Declan Weeks stepped
up but saw his spot kick saved by Cameron Gregory
in the Pilgrims goal.
The only goal of the game came in the 56th minute
as Liam Edwards fouled Keaton Ward in the area,
Edwards, who had been booked earlier in the match
was given a second yellow card and his marching
orders. Martin Woods slotted the penalty past Wyll
Stanway to seal the three points.

Charlie Caton limping off with an injury. The Blues
