Both sides missed their goal-scoring chances in a bright game at Stockport today, when Exeter City earned their first away point. John Lobbett did some very good work in the visitors' goal, and was his side's hero. Exeter's young custodian, whose form varies between the brilliant and the terrible, has not the consistency to stand anything like a favourable comparison with some of Exeter's great goalkeepers of the past, Hunter, Singleton, Kelly, Davies, and Dick Pym, but on his day he handles the ball like a master, and takes complete control of the goal area. Today was one of those days. There were scoring chances for both sides, but none were taken in an otherwise bright exhibition of soccer, played on a lovely September afternoon on a perfect pitch and before a considerably larger crowd than usual for the Stockport ground.
