Exeter City were put out of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy by Wycombe Wanderers, who came out 2-0 winners at St James Park.

The game was sealed in the final ten minutes when Anthony Stewart arrived at the back post to head in a cross from his defensive partner Sam Wood.

Exeter City boss Paul Tisdale has expressed excitement ahead of tonight's Capital One Cup first round tie against Queens Park Rangers.
The Grecians have arguably been dealt the toughest hand available, as visitors QPR are the only club that were playing Premier League football last season to be in the first round draw.

Exeter City Chief Executive Julian Tagg has given his thanks to Swansea City for allowing the Grecians to keep all the gate receipts from the upcoming friendly fixture at the Park on Sunday – and is urging fans to come along to enjoy the match and help the club financially. In normal circumstances, it is commonplace for teams to share the proceeds of the gate in cup and friendly fixtures. However in this instance, Swansea have magnanimously allowed Exeter City to keep the gate takings – therefore meaning that every pound that is paid on the day will be of benefit to the club. The Swans...
