Argyle drawn away to Bristol Rovers in Vertu Trophy

Bristol Rovers (A)

Argyle have been drawn away to Bristol Rovers in the round of 16 in the Vertu Trophy.

The two sides met in the group stage this season, with Rovers winning 1-0, meaning Argyle were then away to Leyton Orient in the last round.

The Pilgrims won that game 1-0 to advance, while Rovers were beating Cambridge United on a penalty shoot-out, following a 2-2 scoreline after 90 minutes.

Curiously, the last time Argyle were in the Trophy, and got to the final, in 2022/23, the Greens played Rovers in the group stage, and then beat Rovers in the quarter-finals.

Ties are scheduled to take place in the week commencing 12 January. An exact date and time, as well as ticket information, will be provided when we have them.
