Exeter avenged last season's play-off final heartbreak with a 1-0 victory over Cambridge at Wembley to earn promotion to the Football League following a five-year absence.

City lost 2-1 to Morecambe at the same stage last season but Rob Edwards' first-half header ensured their second visit to England's showcase stadium was a successful one.

Despite enjoying the lion's share of possession Cambridge found it difficult to create many chances from open play with Exeter goalkeeper Paul Jones finding himself a mere spectator for much of the match.

City's defenders coped well with the physical strength of Us striker Lee McEvilly and always looked threatening from Dean Moxey's set-pieces.
