Under 13's Yeovil Town 1-8 Exeter City

In the third and final periods, goals were added by Mustafa Rehemi, Will Richards headed home from an Ollie Snow corner, Tom Scadding, Brandon Green a penalty after Jack Mills had been tripped cutting in from the bye-line, Mika Morgan and Ollie Jay.
Eight goals from eight different scorers before Yeovil got a consolation goal two minutes from full time to spoil City's clean sheet.

Yeovil were always a threat with the long ball and new signing Dan Lavercombe made some tremendous saves. Alex Byrne scored Exeter's goal which was a clever follow up from a Dean Billingsly shot.
Man of the Match - Dan Lavercombe.
Under 16's Exeter City 1-1 Yeovil Town
Exeter put in a battling performance against a very physical Yeovil team. The first half was lacking in any real penetration with Exeter rushing the final ball.
Just before half time both of the games goals were scored, a great strike from Dan Way putting Exeter ahead. But a lack of concentration from a set piece saw Yeovil equalise.
The second half was much better in quality and work rate from Exeter, who had several chances to take the lead. The introduction of Sean Goss in front of the back four worked to great effect.
