Exeter City finished the 2013/14 season with a fine 2-0 victory against Hartlepool United at Victoria Park.
Jimmy Keohane and David Wheeler were the Grecians’ two goalscorers – both goals coming before the break – but with the result never going to be important for either team, one of the more important stats was the number of homegrown players that featured in the Exeter side.
No less than nine players that came out of the Cat & Fiddle Academy featured for Exeter in Hartlepool, while youngsters Jordan Tillson, Jimmy...
Exeter City secured their status as a Football League team in some style, beating the league leaders Scunthorpe United 2-0 at St James Park.
When the pressure was on, City turned in one of their most complete performances of the season to dominate the game in almost its entirety – and the Grecians also ended Scunthorpe’s remarkable 28-game unbeaten run.
In the end, everyone went home happy – Fleetwood could only manage a draw in their game against Southend, meaning that Scunthorpe confirmed promotion.
Torquay United came from behind to win 2-1 at St James Park at the expense of Exeter City in Sky Bet League 2.
A win for the Gulls means that their seemingly-inevitable relegation is prolonged for another week, while Exeter City still have work on to ensure that they will still be a Football League club next season.
It looked like things were going to go swimmingly when Scot Bennett turned in a low shot after quarter of an hour, but Courtney Cameron’s free-kick after the interval tied things up.
It isn’t as if a derby match needs much extra incentive – but the stakes when Exeter City host Torquay United on Easter Monday are positively huge.
We have seen teams come to St James Park and sit behind the ball and play without committing to attack – but for the Gulls, anything other than a win will mean relegation.
Torquay need to win all three of their remaining games, including this derby match, to stand any chance of surviving in Sky Bet League 2 this season. And, even if they were to complete a miraculous effort to secure...
Exeter City and Chesterfield shared the points with a 1-1 draw at the Proact Stadium, in a game that could easily have gone either way by the full-time whistle.
Matt Grimes’ first professional goal – a deflected free-kick – got City going in the second half, and the Grecians created a host of chances to extend that lead before Sam Morsy was sent off for the hosts for a poor tackle on Grimes.
But Eoin Doyle won a penalty late in the game and scored it himself, with the game ultimately ending a goal apiece.
Exeter City succumbed to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Bury in the Sky Bet League 2 fixture at Gigg Lane.
The Shakers had much of the running in the first period, but the chance of the half came to Liam Sercombe, whose low effort was turned away off the legs of stopper Brian Jensen.
The deadlock was broken by Chris Hussey’s free-kick midway through the second half, and Exeter were reduced to ten men soon after as captain Danny Coles picked up a second yellow card.
Exeter dug deep and tried to force the equaliser, but were...
Exeter City’s fell to a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Accrington Stanley at St James Park.
A fairly open first half saw Danny Coles and Stanley’s James Gray produced efforts on target, but it was the away side that took the lead in stoppage time – Kayode Odejayi taking the plaudits after forcing the ball cross the line at the end of a goalmouth scramble.
Try as they might the Grecians couldn’t find a route back into the game in the second half; James Beattie’s side leaving with a vital three points in their quest to avoid the...
Exeter City left it late at Home Park to snatch another three vital Sky Bet League 2 points in the Devon Derby.
Liam Sercombe and Eliot Richards found the net to complete a come-from-behind victory over the Pilgrims, with Reuben Reid having given Argyle the lead shortly before half-time as he converted a penalty conceded by Danny Coles’ handball. Paul Tisdale’s men showed great character to turn it around, sending the elated travelling supporters home happy.
Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale named an unchanged side for the third-consecutive...
