The annual Exeter City FC Santa Dash will be taking place ahead of the Carlisle match on 13 December 2014.

As usual, the dashers will be setting off from the Guildhall at 1.15pm, with the Deputy Lord Mayor seeing everyone on their way.

The one-mile route will be the same as in previous years and there will be medals and certificates for the adults and children who arrive at St James Park first!

This year, we are running the Dash in association with our friends at that fabulous local charity Hospiscare, who provide high-quality care and support to people who are...

Exeter City draw against league leaders Luton

Match report: Exeter City 1 Luton Town 1

Exeter City came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against top-of-the-league Luton Town at St James Park.

It was no less than Exeter deserved from a performance which saw the home side control a bulk of the possession and create most of the chances, but it was always going to need a gutsy performance as the Hatters took an early lead.

It was Scott Griffiths that rose highest after just three minutes to head in a corner, leaving Exeter trailing at the break.

But with 20 minutes to play, Tom Nichols got Exeter on terms...

Exeter city climb to 10th

Match report: Morecambe 0 Exeter City 2

The Grecians grabbed a sixth win in eight games to return to the top half of the table as they overcame Morecambe 2-0 at the Globe Arena.

Shaun Beeley inadvertently gave Exeter the lead early on as he diverted Christian Ribeiro’s cross into his own net, and second-half sub Tom Nichols rounded it off late on with a fine finish.

It also represented a first clean-sheet of the season with everyone mucking in to help Christy Pym keep the door shut from the Shrimps attack.

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale named an unchanged...

Familiar scoreline as Exeter City win again

Match report: Exeter City 2 Wycombe 1

Exeter City came from behind to defeat league leaders Wycombe Wanderers 2-1 at St James Park.

Despite trailing to an early Peter Murphy goal, the Grecians responded well through a well-taken goal by David Wheeler after Graham Cummins had a shot saved.

And in the second half it was captain Scot Bennett that hammered in from close range to complete the turnaround and secure the points.

Liam Sercombe missed out injured in the only change, with David Wheeler stepping into the starting XI and Ollie Watkins taking a seat on...

Exeter City make it 4 in a row!

Match Report: Dagenham 1 Exeter City 2

For the fourth time on the bounce, Exeter City secured a 2-1 victory – and this time it was Dagenham & Redbridge that were the vanquished side.

City were trailing to a goal by former Grecian Jamie Cureton at the break following a disappointing first half.

But Exeter, galvanised and dominant in the second period, fought back well and got on terms when Alex Nicholls was felled in the area and Jimmy Keohane netted from the penalty spot.

The turnaround was complete deep into stoppage time when Arron Davies rose highest...

City make it three in a row

Match report: Exeter City 2 Bury 1

Exeter City overturned league leaders Bury at St James Park, recording a 2-1 win to make it three wins on the bounce.

An early Matt Grimes free-kick had Exeter off to a flyer, but Tom Soares’ rocket after an hour had the teams all square.

But a close-range effort from substitute Jimmy Keohane with less than ten minutes remaining was the difference at the end, giving Exeter City’s hard-working side a well-earned three points at the Park.

Craig Woodman’s injury kept him out of the matchday squad for the meeting with Bury,...

Exeter City still looking for a win

Match report: Exeter City 1 Oxford 1

Exeter City’s search for a first win of the season continues as they were held to a 1-1 draw at St James Park by Oxford United.

The Grecians got off to the best possible start when Graham Cummins won and converted a penalty in the first few minutes, but the U’s hit back through Callum O’Dowda, who put Joe Riley’s cross beyond stopper Christy Pym.

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale made one change to the side which were beaten 2-1 by Mansfield Town at St James Park last time out, as Matt Grimes came into the starting eleven in place...

Too little, too late for City

The Grecians fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to Mansfield Town on Saturday in Sky Bet League 2.

First-half goals from Rakish Bingham – making his debut for Mansfield – and Fergus Bell gave the Stags a two-goal advantage at the interval.

Matt Grimes, on from the bench, netted a stunning free-kick for a reinvigorated City side after the break.

But the home side couldn’t force that equaliser and ultimately were downed 2-1 by their guests from Nottinghamshire.

With players returning to fitness, Christian Ribeiro and Alex Nicholls went straight into the starting XI...
