UNIVERSITY of South Wales head to Topsham Sports Ground as they face an Exeter side with one win under their belt this season.

BUCS Premier South champions USW head into the clash having already recorded a 3-1 win against their hosts, so will look to get the goals flowing and grab another three points.

Exeter’s form against Welsh sides this season hasn’t been ideal, with Swansea University and Cardiff Metropolitan also recording comfortable wins against them.

Despite their questionable start to the campaign, Exeter’s home form has been solid.  Their only loss has come up against an in-form Hartpury 1st side, narrowly missing out on a point in a tight 3-2 match-up.

Lee Kendall’s side will be looking to regain some momentum as they return to action after a frustrating couple of weeks.  Their previous two matches against Swansea and Hartpury were postponed and abandoned respectively.

Last week’s fixture between Hartpury and USW was halted due to a serious injury to a Hartpury player. Ioan Richards, who played for Cheltenham Town and Gloucester City, suffered a fractured foot in the clash.

Kick off for the game is 14:00.
