Hartpury secured a decisive victory over Exmouth Town to advance to the next round of their competition. The match saw an early penalty opportunity for Exmouth saved, but they initially took the lead in the 13th minute when Ben Steer scored with a well-executed lob over the goalkeeper. Their advantage was short-lived, as Kian Davies equalized five minutes later, calmly finishing after receiving a lofted pass.

Hartpury then took control of the match, with Morgan Ewing putting the home side ahead in the 22nd minute by capitalizing on a loose ball inside the penalty area. The visitors struggled to contain Hartpury’s attacking efforts and conceded again just before the hour mark. A misjudged clearance from a Keon Sanniola cross allowed Billy Osborn to slot the ball past the keeper, extending the lead.

With momentum firmly on their side, Hartpury added a fourth goal through Louis Manning. Manning produced a skillful individual effort, beating a defender before rounding the goalkeeper and finishing into an open net.

The result reflected Hartpury’s dominance throughout the game, securing a comprehensive win and progression to the next stage of the tournament.
