EXETER CITY (BURKE 2) 2 
QUEEN'S PARK RANGERS 0.

After two games away, and two glorious confidence-giving wins, Exeter City were on view to their own supporters against Queens Park Rangers, a side placed five positions (15th) higher than the City (20th). The first two Exeter attacks brought a big cheer from the crowd, when after Simpson's shot had been blocked John headed Buckle's corner only a foot wide.

EXETER CITY:- Hunter; Walton, Mitchell; Davey, Harvey, Murphy; Simpson, Worthington, Burke, John, Buckle.
REFEREE:- Mr C.G.Porter, of Taunton.
RANGERS: Brown; Woods, Ingham; Petchey, Rutter, Angell; Longbottom, Smith, Clark, Cameron, Shepherd.

The City won this game from their first-half display. Then they were generally in command and scored two goals through Ronnie Burke in the 35th and 42nd minutes. After the interval they fell away badly and were mostly hemmed in on the defensive, and they had to thank Davey, Murphy, and Mitchell, for keeping their goal intact.
