Under-18s: Jacca Cavendish previews Argyle's visit

Ahead of this weekend's under-18 Devon Derby in the Youth Alliance Cup, Jacca Cavendish sat down to preview Argyle's visit. 

The centre-back, now in his second year of scholarship, recently made his debut for the under-18s after a lengthy recovery from an ACL injury sustained in March last year. 

Before diving into the weekend's fixture, Jacca reflected on his challenging journey back to fitness.

"It's been tough; it's been a long time. I've been out for 18 months, and it's been tough not being able to do what I love.

"To be social in the group was hard when you're not really with them at all. I just tried to be around, in the changing room, as much as I could, but it's tough."

The under-18s have faced a tough start to the season, with a heavy defeat at Gillingham and a last-minute loss to AFC Wimbledon at Cliff Hill last week. 

Despite these setbacks, Jacca remains confident in his teammates' ability to bounce back against Argyle and achieve a successful season.

"It's always a bit of a dogfight against Plymouth; emotions sometimes get the better of you, but we want to try and play our way. Not necessarily scrap, but make sure we come out on top of all our duels."

"We can kill any team in possession the way that we play; we'll break down most teams.”
