Exeter College Men's Football team reached the last eight of the British Colleges Sport National Elite League Cup with a 4-0 win against City College Plymouth on Wednesday.

First year student Owen Howe scored all four goals in an entertaining match played at Exeter City's Cat and Fiddle Training Ground.

Coach Neil Saunders said, “We are really grateful to Exeter City Football Club's Head Groundsman Clive Pring and his staff for the work they put in on preparing the pitch in difficult conditions. The Cat and Fiddle is a fantastic venue for games such as these and as a development centre for Exeter City FC our players really benefit from our partnership with the club.”

“We played against a very good team today and were made to work hard for our win. Owen fully deserved his four goals but credit must also go to his team mates, especially the defensive players. Some of the football we played on a difficult pitch was excellent but what I was most impressed with was the players' work rate, attitude and discipline from start to finish”.

Exeter will now play away to the winners of Swadelands School SEFA and The Canterbury High School.
