The first home game of the season took place on a sunny September Saturday against the impressive Alphington Allstars. United started well but were soon put under pressure by the slick passing of Alphington who created an opening to take the lead. As Exmouth grew into the game they began to string passes together and were able to fashion a shooting chance that was superbly finished by Cayleb F.
However, despite some fantastic goalkeeping by Lewis A the visitors piled on the pressure and gradually built up a lead to win by 6-1. Exmouth stayed positive and continued working hard to create chances until the final whistle blew.

United kick off the season with dramatic 3 - 2 victory at Pinhoe
Exmouth United Under 11s started the new season with a well-fought 3-2 victory away to Pinhoe Spartans. It was the home side that took the lead with a confident strike from a well worked through ball. This was soon followed by an amazing double-save from the United keeper Lewis A - keeping his team in the match. Exmouth were not disheartened and their efforts were rewarded by two goals in quick succession just before half-time. The first came from a corner which arrived in the box and was coolly despatched with a great finish by Cayleb F. Two minutes later Exmouth pressure led to a defensive mix up and own goal by Pinhoe.
The second-half saw Pinhoe pile on the pressure and for much of the time they were camped in the Exmouth half. Harry KR marshalled his defence expertly to keep the home team out including a fantastic goal line clearance. In a rare attack Joe G dribbled through the Pinhoe defence before being bowled over to win a penalty. Captain Dylan M made sure with a neat finish into the corner of the net. But soon after the home side set up a gripping final 15 minute bringing it back to 2-3.
A wave of excellent blocks, tackles and clearances from the Exmouth team kept out the impressive Spartans until the final whistle blew. The stand-out performance came from Lewis A with countless brilliant saves.
