Match 12
8th October 1958
Exeter City v Aldershot
EXETER CITY 2
(CALLAND, REES)
ALDERSHOT 0.
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 8th
AT ST JAMES'S PARK.
Exeter City in beating Aldershot kept their home record, but missed many goals. Without exaggeration they could have, and should have, scored five more goals at least.
Exeter City:- Hunter; Foley, MacDonald; Mitchell, Oliver, Harvey; Stiffle, Rees, Calland, Birch, Dale.
Aldershot:- Marshall; Henry, Goldie; Mundy, Howe, Watson; Walters, Stepney, Price, Lacey, Tyrer.
Referee:- Mr B.Griffiths of Newport. Linesmen: Messrs W.Webster and E.Ley.
The City completely outplayed a poor Aldershot side. Mitchell and Oliver shone in a good defence, and Rees and Dale starred in the fast-moving forward line, but the finishing was deplorable.
EXETER ARE SO KIND!
Exeter 2, Aldershot 0
ALDERSHOT manager Harry Evans used to play for Exeter City, and his old club treated his team kindly last night- they only banged in two goals instead of the twenty they should have had!
Centre forward Ted Calland got Exeter's first goal in the fifteenth minute and young Welshman Graham Rees made it 2-0 after fifty-nine minutes.
But before, between and after those two they were as guilty as the rest of missing golden opportuni- ties. It is easy to see how Aldershot's defence has let in thirty-eight goals in fourteen games.
