RYAN Brett gave Argyle a share of the spoils as the Pilgrims came from two goals down at Exeter to draw their opening totesport.com Combination game 2-2.

The first-year pro centre-back forced home Luke Summerfield's corner with 12 minutes to go at St James' Park to ensure that the Derby honours were even.

The teams had turned around after a goal-less first half, but Exeter took a 2-0 lead with a brace from substitute Ben Watson before we pulled one back through Summerfield, one of nine pros who started the game.

Watched by manager Paul Sturrock, Summers fired home a deflected free-kick to reduce the arrears, before Ryan equalised from a Chris Clark cross.

Argyle coach Geoff Crudgington, who was in charge of the Pilgrims, said: "It was a good comeback and, to be honest, we had several chances to win the game after Ryan's goal."

Argyle: Kyle Letheren; Ryan Leonard, Ben Gerring, Ryan Brett, Jordan Trott (Liam Head 79); Chris Clark, Luke Summerfield, Yoann Folly, Craig Noone; Ashley Barnes, Joe Mason. Substitutes (not used): Oliver Chenoweth, Sean Kinsella, Curtis Nelson, Jake Baker.
