The Grecians visit Northampton Town this weekend still on the lookout for the first win of the 2014/15 campaign.
Exeter’s two away days so far this campaign – at Plymouth Argyle and Burton Albion within four days – both ended in defeat.
Northampton meanwhile have collected four points from their first two games at Sixfields – Kaid Mohamed’s goal gave the Cobblers an opening-day win against Mansfield, and a late Emile Sinclair header saved a point against recently-relegated Shrewsbury a week ago. Lawson D’Ath, formerly on loan at St James Park, scored two in a 3-2 win at...
Town followed up a respectable league draw against Launceston on Saturday with a clinical win in this midweek friendly against lower division opponents.
The fixture was originally due to be played at Minster Park as part of pre-season, but was postponed due to heavy rainfall.
SWPL Division One East side St Martins had a trio of early chances but were halted at the six yard box, and it was the Premier division hosts who soon took the lead.
No. 9 Matt Dawson was left with a tap in after the away keeper parried a strike to his feet in the seventh minute.
The 2014/15 campaign is barely underway and the Devon Derby is already upon us.
For this weekend’s hosts, Plymouth Argyle, it offers hope of getting more from the game than they did when the teams last met at Home Park as recently as March, when City came from behind to win 2-1.
Meanwhile for Exeter City, it gives the chance to build on a commendable start to the campaign and to aim to register a first win of the new football year.
Supporters are reminded that this is an all-ticket match .
City’s recent record in the Capital One Cup has rarely seen them get past the first round – that comes as little surprise though, considering the opposition that they faced since being back in the League.
Southampton, QPR (twice), Ipswich, Liverpool and Crystal Palace had been the six teams that have knocked out City since 2008 – taking the Tractorboys to extra-time was as close as City have got to causing an upset.
And now it is AFC Bournemouth that the Grecians face. In the past that prospect would have been a lot less daunting, but the sudden surge that the Cherries have...
A thrilling afternoon of football saw the Grecians hold Portsmouth to a well-earned 1-1 draw at St James Park.
A goal from Tom Nichols saw the home side take the lead in the middle of the first half, but a Jed Wallace equaliser ensured that both sides shared the points in this exhilarating start to the 2014/15 campaign.
An electric atmosphere greeted the players as they took to the field, with both sets of supporters evidently anticipating the first competitive fixture of the season.
Due to a raft of injuries and illnesses, Paul Tisdale named himself as a sub in the...
The Grecians will begin their League Two campaign this coming Saturday at 3pm as they welcome Portsmouth to St James' Park.
Paul Tisdale, who is the second longest serving manager in current English football, only behind Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger, having been at Exeter for over eight years, will lock horns with newly appointed Portsmouth manager Andy Awford, who joined the club in early May after the club decided to sack Richie Barker.
The last time these two met was in February earlier this year; which saw them battle out a 1-1 draw at St James Park. A 90+4 minute...

England are one of the two oldest national teams in football; alongside Scotland, whom they played in the world’s first international football match in 1872. They were World Cup hosts and winners in 1966 and semi-finalists in Italy in 1990, though it’s arguable whether they are still a top ten team in the world right now, even though they’re officially ranked at #10 in the FIFA World Rankings. Most Capped Player: Peter Shilton, 125 (1970 – 1990) Top Goal Scorer: Bobby Charlton, 49 (1968 – 1970)
