For over an hour Exeter City put on the pressure this afternoon, but it was Mansfield who opened the scoring with a breakaway goal by Wragg in the 64th minute. He scored another two minutes from the end to clinch matters. Wyllie did the most to give his side a chance of victory. At the times when the City's pressure was greatest he performed heroics between the sticks to prevent a score. There was nothing wrong with Exeter's defence, but they were just unlucky that their two slips cost the game. Harvey was the team's outstanding player and he never put a foot wrong. It was another of those frustrating games in which the City did everything to the opposition except score goals against them.

• Exeter City Reserves won at Glastonbury after being a goal behind at half time. Donaldson and Bennett scored in the second half, the result being Glastonbury 1 City Reserves 2.
