Match 18
8th November 1958
Port Vale (a)
And in the Southern League
Exeter City Res v Clacton
REES HAT TRICK IN VAIN
PORT VALE SCORE FIVE.
SATURDAY NOVEMBER 8TH:
VALE 5 EXETER 3.
In the end the City were somewhat unfortunate to lose by such a big margin, especially as the fourth and fifth goals were disputed, but their defenders were not free from blame and were too prone to panic when the Vale stepped up the pressure.
Port Vale: Jones; Raine, Sproson; Kinsey, Leake, Miles; Jackson, Poole, Wilkinson, Steele, Cunliffe.
Exeter City: Hunter; Foley, MacDonald; Mitchell, Oliver, John; Stiffle, Rees, Calland, Nicholls, Dale.
The three goals which Rees scored was a "hat-trick" in vain, and by their victory Port Vale have knocked Exeter off their perch at the top of the 4th Division and are now themselves the leaders.
