📝 Match Preview: Tiverton Town (A)

Exeter City's second pre-season match kicks off this evening as we make the short trip to Tiverton Town, marking Tiverton's Scott Rogers' testimonial.

Matt Taylor has already confirmed that the game will be played in similar fashion to Tuesday night at Weston-super-Mare, where two separate XI's took to the field in each half. 

Last August's match at Tiverton saw a 2-1 win for City in a match watched by 300 supporters, the first time fans had watched the Grecians play since the outbreak of the pandemic the previous March.

You can however follow the match on the clubs social media channels, and an interview with Matt Taylor and a player will follow the match and a SJP 360 video in the coming days.
