EARLY SEASON ENCOUNTER FOR PILGRIMS AND GRECIANS

There will be an early Devon derby meeting in the 2014-15 season as Plymouth Argyle are set to host Exeter City in their first home game of the campaign.

When the two sides meet on August 16th, the Pilgrims will be looking to avenge their two league defeats at the hands of the Grecians last term- it was the first time that Exeter had completed a league double over their arch rivals since the 1992-93 season.

Exeter's two previous visits to Home Park have attracted over crowds of 13,000, and the Pilgrims will be hoping for a similar bumper attendance again.

Before then, Argyle travel to Cambridge United on the opening day of the campaign to face the U's in the first match of their return to the Football League, after winning promotion from the Conference last season.

Meanwhile, the Grecians host another of another of the Pilgrims' great rivals, Portsmouth, at St James Park.

In League One, Yeovil Town host Doncaster Rovers who were also relegated from the Championship with the Glovers.
