Saturday September 3rd 1960.

EXETER CITY 0
MANSFIELD TOWN 2 (Wragg 2).

Played at St James's Park, attendance 6,500.


Exeter City:- Lobbett; Foley and MacDonald; Mitchell, Harvey, and Thompson; Harrison, Gordon, Wilkinson, Rees, and Dale.

Mansfield Town:- Wyllie; Humble and Bradley; Smith, Emery, and Watson; Wragg, Williams, Wagstaff, Delapenha, and Stringfellow.

Referee:- Mr H.G.New of Hampshire.

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.

CITY RESERVES SNATCH VICTORY
(Express Echo Saturday 3rd September) 

A Misunderstanding between Alvin Williams and his goalkeeper almost led to a Glaston bury goal in the first minute against Exeter City Reserves, but left-winger Vowles shot high over an empty Exeter net.

Teams:
Glastonbury 
Stowell: Harrison, Clark: Young, Davis, Robins; Colin Nash, Hamilton, Clive Nash, Burgess. Vowles.

Exeter City Res: Jones; Packer, Whitnell, P. Williams. A. Williams, Grant; Irons, Symes, Bennett. Donaldson, Josiin.

Exeter' wingers were dangerous and Joslin, on the left, almost gave them the lead, Stowell saving his shot at the second attempt. Donald- son also went close for Exeter, but right-back Harrison intervened to kick the ball off the goal line with Stowell beaten. The Exeter wing halves, Williams and Grant, pushed through some accurate passes and for a time the home defence were fully extended. Left-back Clarke was in great form.

DANGER MAN
Vowles, who was the danger man in the Glastonbury attack, sent a first-time shot whizzing inches past an upright, and after clever combination between the Nash twins, Clive had a good shot well-saved by Jones. Glastonbury went ahead in the 38th minute when Hamilton, receiving from Colin Nash, paved the way for BURGESS to score with a fine left foot shot. Exeter should have been on terms when Symes pushed the ball through for Bennett but with only the goalkeeper to beat the centre-forward screwed his shot wide of the up- right. Burgess came near to in- creasing Glastonbury's lead. but generally the two strong defences kept firm grip on the game.

GLASTONBURY 1 EXETER CITY RES. 0

For City Reserves DONALDSON levelled the scores following a free kick just outside the penalty area. and then BENNETT got the winner.
