An excellent result against strong opposition.

: Oxford City travelled away to Plymouth Argyle
: in the Second Round Proper of the FA Cup on
: Sunday 11 November.
:
: Pylmouth Argyle play in the league above
: Oxford City (South West Combination) and are
: unbeaten at home all season, so City knew
: they had a tough test ahead of them.
:
: City started the game well, and matched
: Plymouth throughout the first half. After 25
: minutes City's efforts were rewarded and
: Deanne Tomkins slotted past the Plymouth
: keeper after some neat build up play to make
: it 1-0 to City.
:
: After the goal City continued to attack
: Plymouth and had some great chances to go
: 2-0 up, if it weren't for some great
: goalkeeping and good defending by Plymouth.
:
: This acted as a wake up call to Plymouth and
: they started attacking City's half with more
: promise and scored 2 goals in quick
: sucession, to make it 2-1 to Plymouth just
: before half time.
:
: Plymouth started the 2nd half brightly and
: they really got on top of the game without
: making many chances for themselves. City
: battled hard and it was a committed
: performance from all involved, but 5 minutes
: from time Plymouth scored their third goal
: after a quickly taken free kick, to make it
: 3-1 to Plymouth.
:
: City had the better goalscoring opportunites
: throughout the match but couldn't capitalise
: on these and in the end Plymouth's class
: shone through to win this FA Cup match. City
: can now concentrate on their league and look
: back on their longest FA Cup run ever with
: fond memories.
:
: City defend their County Cup Champions title
: on Sunday 18 November against Oxford United
: Ladies at Court Place Farm (KO 2pm), in what
: promises to be a eagerly contested match.
: All are welcome to attend.
