2005/06
All Results and information
Squad photograph from the 2005/06 season during which Exeter continued their run of narrowly avoiding the playoffs in the Conference as they finished in 7th place.
Unlike the success of the previous year in the FA Cup however, they fell at the first hurdle of the Fourth Qualifying Round, similarly in the Football League Trophy they exited at the first time of asking.
In the FA Trophy though, Exeter enjoyed considerable success and narrowly lost in the Semi-Final.

Youth Team and Reserves
The Football Conference Youth Alliance (known sometimes as the Conference Youth Alliance) was formed in 2005 as the official U19s Youth League for professional teams, semi-professional and for non-league teams who compete in the Football Confernce league and respective non-league competitions in England.
Teams who competed in the Football Conference Youth Alliance combined football training with education, offering 16-18 year olds the chance to play elite youth football at U19s level and gain academic qualifications at BTEC National or Diploma level, operating on a similar model to that of the Football League Youth Alliance and the F.A Premier Academy League.
Exeter competed in the Under 18’s and Under 16’s Football League Youth Alliance.
