EXETER CITY v STOKE.
SATURDAY, APRIL 26th.
The Grecians played their last Southern League match of the season this afternoon, at St. James's Park, their opponents, Stoke, being at the bottom of the table.

The weather was absolutely the worst experienced throughout the season. The drifting rain which had been falling all night long and during the morning turned into something approaching a deluge this afternoon. It swept across the field in torrents, and all the time the wind was blowing half a gale. The pitch was like a quagmire even before the start. Poor Exeter City! It was a wind-up consistent with what their luck has been pretty well all the season. At three o'clock not more than fifty spectators were present, and on the flower-pot side a mere dozen stood huddled together in mackintoshes and holding umbrellas. This weather would, for certain, make at least £50 difference to the gate, and on the season Exeter have lost about 400 on account of bad weather on the occasion of home matches. Exeter played the same team as last week, but Stoke made two changes, namely Holmes for Foster, centre-forward, and McKay for Bailey, left-half. Teams :

CITY Pym Fort Hurst Rigby Lagan Lockett Whittaker Crompton Rutter Golightly Garside

Referee:- Mr L. Bullimer, of Northampton.
Linesmen: Messrs E.J.Davis and F. G.Taylor.

STOKE Gadsden Smart Milne Baddeley 
Jones McKay Heggarty Smith (A) Holmes Smith (W) Revill

Stoke turned out in their colours, which are red and white stripes, the same as Exeter, and the City wore all-white. Exeter lost the toss, and were set to face the wind and rain in the opening half.
Exeter City 1 Stoke nil.
The Grecians won their last match of the season by a goal to nil, scored by Crompton from Garside's pass, four minutes from the end. Crompton's goal was the result of a clever piece of work by Garside, who beat Baddeley and drew the defence before centreing for the City captain to net the ball from close range. Exeter gave a good all-round display. Their forwards worked together effectively, and the half-back line was strong. Fort was always in the right place, when needed, in defence Stoke were weak at forward, the line lacking experience. McKay was a powerful half-back, both backs were safe, and Gadsden was a brilliant goalkeeper.
