Recalled to the starting line-up having been only a replacement in Brisbane the week previous, the Cornishman featured for the whole 80 minutes during an outstanding display from Eddie Jones’ side.

Exeter City agree formation date

The Grecians were formed in 1901. That is the date that has been agreed by the Club and Trust boards after a period of consultation with supporters.

United moved into St James Park for the 1903/4 season and then at their AGM on 31 May 1904 voted to change their name to Exeter City....
