Match 09
11th November 1905
Friendly
112th Battery (a)
112TH BATTERY R.F.A. v EXETER CITY.
Saturday, November 11th.
This match, a "friendly," was played at the Camp Field in heavy rain. The Battery kicked off, and in the first minute obtained what was a very doubtful goal, the ball appearing to go through a hole in the side of the net. The City had hard lines from the restart, Sellick missing by a few inches only. The opening quarter of an hour favoured the Battery, the absence of Reid and Davidson being badly felt by Exeter. Football was out of the question and the game was very largely a matter of long kicks, accompanied by much mud slush, and Wilson scored for the Battery, and Sturge saved a penalty kick given against Wells.
Result:
112th Battery 3 Exeter City 2.
