The Blues, beaten 3-2 by Plymouth on Saturday, found themselves on the receiving end of another Youth Alliance League loss in the south west of England against the Grecians.

The result, which ended any hopes of title glory, leaves Mikey Harris’ under-18s in third place heading into this weekend’s season-ending clash with Swindon – again on the road.

The Blues will secure a top-five finish – and Merit League qualification – with victory, although a draw may well suffice for the visitors.
