Exeter City boss Paul Tisdale was delighted to make the long trip back to Devon with a point from a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Darlington.

Tisdale was disappointed with his side's first-half display against the Quakers but pleased with the way they hit back after the break.

"To start with a point at a place like this is no mean feat," he told the Grecians' official website. "But the players need to find their feet at this level as it's a bit of the unknown for all of us.

"It was a hard-earned point. You get nothing for nothing in football and in the first half we offered nothing. A draw was a fair result, we didn't do enough to win it."
