Exeter City will go into their Sky Bet League Two season full of confidence after beating a Cardiff City XI 3-0 at St James Park, to round off an excellent pre-season which saw the Grecians win all seven of their fixtures.
Two goals from Robbie Simpson, who looks to have settled well going into his first season with the club, and a first half strike from Lee Holmes made the difference for the home side, who once again impressed on a slightly controversial night in Devon.
It began with some confusion as fans made their way to St James Park expecting to see some high profile...
