Wikipedia - Plymouth Argyle W.F.C.
Plymouth Argyle Women Football Club are a women's football club based in the city of Plymouth, Devon, England. They compete in the FA Women's National League South.
Founded in 1975, they come under the bracket of Plymouth Argyle F.C., and play their home games at Manadon Sports Hub, Plymouth, which is owned and operated by the PAFC Community Trust.
History
Formation and early years (1975–2010)
The club was formed in 1975 as a result of a 5-a-side league at the Mayflower Leisure Centre. Two teams merged in order to enter an 11-a-side football tournament in Newquay, Cornwall with the team creating the name of 'Plymouth Pilgrims'. Following the success of the tournament, Plymouth Pilgrims played in numerous competitions throughout the 1970s and 1980s with the most notable achievement being reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in both 1976 and 1977.
The club name changed to 'Saltash Pilgrims' in the late 1990s and the early part of the year 2000 to reflect their home ground at the time – Saltash United's Kimberly Stadium in Cornwall. It was not until the 2001–02 season that the club, then competing in the South West Combination, were invited to compete under the umbrella of Plymouth Argyle F.C., and Plymouth Argyle Ladies were formed.
Plymouth won the 2010–11 South West Combination, and were promoted to the Southern Division, but faced relegation at the end of the 2011–12 season.
National League and Affiliation (2010–present)
In August 2020, Ryan Perks was appointed manager. A year later, ahead of the 2021–22 season, the club changed name, replacing the suffix Ladies Football Club with Women Football Club, as the club transferred from under the management of the Argyle Community Trust, to being taken under the professional wing of Plymouth Argyle.
The team officially becomes part of Plymouth Argyle Football Club on 1 July 2024 and on the same day, the young goal-scorer Ellie Sara became the first woman to sign for the newly organised Plymouth Argyle Women.
