Exeter City Women kick off their 2025/26 season away at Cheltenham Town on Sunday, as Abbie Britton's side will look to build on their incredible fourth placed finish last season.
The Grecians' debut season at tier three level couldn't have gone much better, however they're no longer the new kids on the block and will have a target on their back. Abbie has brought six new players into her squad, but Emily Poole and Georgina Presswell are doubts with the club still waiting for international clearance to register both players.
Cheltenham finished eighth in the Southern Premier Division last season and will be looking to push further up the table in their third consecutive season at this level. The Robins will be a tough host for City to crack in their first opening away game since a 5-1 win against Bridgwater in 2023.
