Midfielder Conor Hourihane’s trial at Plymouth got off to a fine start on Wednesday evening with the Irish U21 international scoring the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Truro City at Home Park. The Pilgrims' official website described the former Sunderland man as "the best player on the park".
Argyle boss Peter Reid was clearly impressed with the 20-year-old, who netted his goal in the 36th minute after completing a one-two with fellow trialist Joe Mendes: "I thought Conor did well. Conor's goal was terrific. I think he's got a good range of passing."
Hourihane, who signed a new six-month deal with the Blues earlier in the summer, is trying to win a loan deal with the Pilgrims.
Elsewhere, at the Milk Cup in Northern Ireland, Town’s U15s will face Everton in their semi-final in the Junior section later today.
