Exeter City seems to have found some shooting boots at last. It will certainly come as a relief to the club's supporters to know that the City, with the poorest goalscoring record in the whole Football League have been able to get a couple of goals in one game. Satisfaction will also be felt in the knowledge that the confidence that these goals and this win gave the team, could now pull them out of their bottom of the League table position in the Fourth Division. Although the match was far from being a classic it was lively and entertaining, and the City established their two-goals lead just before the whistle blew for half-time. And another satisfying feature was that it was two of Exeter's new forwards who scored the goals. 

• On Thursday evening Exeter City Reserves at Yeovil beat Yeovil Town by a goal to nil. Symes was the scorer just before half-time.
