Exeter City's pre-season schedule continues with our annual trip to the Optima Stadium on Saturday to face Weston-super-Mare in a 3pm kick-off.
City will be looking to build on last Saturday's match against Truro City as they make the short trip to take on Scott Rogers' National League South side.
The match is another opportunity for fans to see the team ahead of the new season, so please make the trip to Weston if you can and get behind the boys!
