Tom Cleverley's Pilgrims followed up their 4-1 win at Plymouth Parkway by defeating another Southern League Premier South side in convincing style.

After an uneventful start to the match it came to life at the end of the first half with goals from Owen Oseni and Michael Baidoo in the 40th and 45th minutes respectively.

Xavier Amaechi then put Argyle further ahead in the 53rd minute, which was soon followed by Cleverley changing the whole of the starting line-up for substitutes.

The Pilgrims had some good chances to have added to their goal tally but it remained 3-0 until full-time, with their next pre-season test to come against Torquay United at Plainmoor on Tuesday night.
