Exeter City’s Under-18s advanced into round two of the FA Youth Cup following a 4-0 victory over Bristol Rovers on a cold night at the Memorial Stadium.
The Grecians broke the deadlock in just the third minute when Gabriel Billington capitalised on a goalkeeping error to force the ball in from close range.
With the visitors in control for large parts in the first half, Charlie Hanson added an Exeter second just past the half-hour mark following Sonny Cox’s imaginative and precise cross.
Despite a resurgent Gas side after the restart, Cox extended the City lead with a real poacher’s goal on 59 minutes, before the forward bagged his second in the final eight minutes to seal his team’s place in the second round of the prestigious youth competition.
