Match Preview image for Tiverton Town vs Exeter City

Exeter City kick-off pre-season on Tuesday night, with a trip to face Tiverton Town in a 7:30pm kick-off at the Ian Moorcroft Stadium.

The Grecians first test ahead of the 24/25 EFL Sky Bet League One season sees the annual trip down the A396 to our Southern League Premier Division South neighbours.

City have been busy in the transfer market, bringing in five players in Jack McMillan, Josh Magennis, Jay Bird, Ryan Woods and Ed Francis, so this could be a first chance to see some of those players in action.
