Exeter City's pre-season schedule continues with our annual trip to Plainmoor on Friday night to face Torquay United in a 3pm kick-off.
A younger City side is expected to head to the Riviera with City also hosting Championship side Bristol City on the Saturday. It will prove another strong test against the Gul's National League South side that narrowly missed out on promotion last season.
The match is another opportunity for fans to see the team ahead of the new season, so please make the trip to Torquay if you can and get behind the boys!
