Exeter City Women head to Billericay Town this Sunday for a 2pm kick-off at the New Lodge Stadium as they search of their first three points of 2025.
After a fortnight break following the team's 1-1 draw with Gwalia, Abbie Britton's side will be determined to return to winning ways in Essex. The Grecians will face a revitalised Billericay side who's manager has had time to work with his side since their last meeting, a 4-1 win for City in December.
The trip to Billericay will also mark a return to the site of City's historic League Cup Plate quarter-final win last season, where the Grecians won 2-0.

How to get there
By car
To plan your journey from Exeter, see below:
Or from Stevenage:
Car parking
There is limited parking at the ground but street parking in the vicinity, and so supporters are encouraged to arrive in plenty of time if travelling by car.
By train
From Exeter, there is one train that will get you to Billericay in time for kick-off that leaves on Sunday, with a journey just short of five hours leaving Exeter St David's at 8.30am. Due to rail replacement buses, from Stevenage it will take around three and a half hours on public transport to reach Billericay this weekend.
Billericay station is around a mile away from the football club, which is a 25 minute walk across down or a short taxi journey.

Abbie Britton's thoughts
💬 "Full squad to pick from and one that will be going to Billericay full of hope that we execute a game plan and come back with three points."

The Opposition
When City and Billericay last clashed at the start of December, Colin Reid had only been in charge of his squad for a couple of days, having taken over from former Gibraltar boss Adrian Parral. Since that game, the Blues have lost twice more in the league to Watford and Hashtag United, however they've picked up victories in two local cup competitions, momentum Reid will want his side to take into this match.
New signing Elicia Mulvaney scored in Town's win against Bowers and Pitsea, the former Oxford and London Bees striker returning to the UK after spending some time in America.
Currently sat in 8th place, seven points above the final relegation spot with a game in hand, Town will be looking to improve on last season's 10th place finish, and with three more points they would beat their previous tally.
Previous Encounter
It's been just over two months since City last faced Billericay, with the visitors making their second trip to Devon this season after the first game was abandoned. Two goals in either half gave City a comprehensive 4-1 win ⬇️
