Plymouth Argyle begin pre-season preparations with Truro City test
Plymouth Argyle continue their pre-season preparations with a friendly against National League side Truro City at the Truro City Stadium. The match kicks off at 3pm as Tom Cleverley's side look to fine-tune ahead of their Carabao Cup opener against Exeter City on August 8.
What's at stake for both teams?
For Truro City, this is a chance to test themselves against higher-level opposition. The Cornish side finished 24th in the National League last season with 34 points from 46 games, winning just 8 matches. Their recent form shows a 2-game winning run, having beaten Aldershot Town 2-0 in their last match of the 2025 season.
Argyle, meanwhile, are looking to build momentum after three pre-season wins. They've beaten Plymouth Parkway, Bath City, and Torquay United in their previous friendlies. This match provides another opportunity to assess their squad before competitive action begins.
Team news and key players
Truro City field a strong lineup with former Argyle striker Luke Jephcott and Tyler Harvey in attack. Harvey has scored in all three of Truro's pre-season games so far. Argyle are without several key players including Joe Edwards and Wes Harding, with Mathias Ross wearing the captain's armband.
What comes next for Truro City?
After this pre-season test, Truro City will focus on their National League campaign which begins in August. The Cornish side will be hoping to improve on last season's struggles, where they scored 42 goals and conceded 72, finishing 74 points behind league leaders York.
