They began against West Exe showing that they meant business - striker Bryn Stephens linking excellently with wingers Jay Leballeur and Kuba Strzalkowski from the very start. When Leballeur's free kick came to Stephens his shot put United in to the lead. Next it was Strzalkowski who stabbed in a rebound from a Stephens strike.
West Exe soon found a foothold in the match and created chances but midfielder Finn Glanfield gave them no time with his excellent tackling and keeper Lewis Alford was alert to any shots that came his way with some strong saves. Notable performances also came from full-backs Seb Harrison and Tom Price with two strong displays.
United Captain Dylan Mogford, known for his defensive work, was next to shine when he executed a perfect feint and slipped the ball to Lewis Evans who picked out the corner with a splendid strike. Mogford then produced some sublime skill to drift past 3 defenders and blast in with his left.
After half-time West Exe hit back with some good link-up play. Luckily for Exmouth, Leballeur then turned on the style and made it 5 with a wonderful solo effort down the left wing - skipping past two defenders and slotting past the goalie. Next it was Cayleb Field who struck with the outside of his right foot when set up by a nice turn from Stephens.
Seb Harrison made numerous marauding runs down the left wing with some exquisite skills and linked up well with his team mates in the middle. He created a number of opportunities and continued to feed Owen Brady who was promoted to striker from centre-back. Brady left it late before seizing his moment when he smashed in a right footed volley after setting himself up with a neat header.
Remarkably, it was not the last for Exmouth as keeper Leballeur ventured up front in the last minute and managed to score a superb effort from the edge of the box. Well played everyone!
