Southern League
Plymouth Argyle Res. (h)

ALDERSHOT 0 EXETER CITY 1

Saturday, February 19th 1938.
At the Recreation Ground, Aldershot. Attendance 5,000.

Exeter City's second away success of the season was obtained at Aldershot this afternoon, and it was a goal by Liddle ten minutes from the end which did the trick. Reg Clarke, the City's former half back and captain, was at the ground, but not included in the team to oppose the Grecians. He could not understand why he had been left out, and stated that he had been looking forward to playing in this match.
Aldershot:- Greaves; Kelly, Williams;
Diaper, Robson, Burnicle; Kilsby, Simpson, Egan, Wilson, Hay.
Exeter City:- Church; B.Clarke,Wallace;
Shadwell, Bamsey, Angus; Coulston, Bussey, Bowl, McGill, Liddle.
Referee:- Mr E.W. Vokes, of Bath.

Considering that they were handicapped by having McGill almost a passenger nearly throughout the second half Exeter did well. The inside-left twisted his ankle in a tussle with Kelly and after an absence of about fifteen minutes returned to play on the left wing.
