Exeter City completed the 1966-67 season with a narrow win over struggling

Exeter City completed their seasons's Fourth Division matches by defeating a poor Notts County team at St James's Park. Exeter City's season is over. The terraces at St James's Park will be empty on Saturday afternoons for the next three months or thereabouts but behind the scenes much work has to be done to rebuild a side for another year of Fourth Division football. It would have been heartening to see the City go out this season in a grand finale. It would have done the supporters good, and also the City club's new manager, Mr Frank Broome. Unfortunately, it did not work out that way. Instead, Exeter City's home match with Notts County on May 13th proved to be a typical end of the season one, with the City winning 1-0.The club are now obviously going to have to buy, particularly some new forwards. That is the main problem, and it will be interesting to see what developments there are during the close season.

SOME PROMISE

The match was not too bad in the first half and Exeter at times did show some promise. Bruce Stuckey played well, showing speed, determination, control, and the ability to beat an opponent. It was probably fitting that he should have scored the winning goal, two minutes before half-time, with a fine low shot from twenty yards after a good run. Exeter missed several chances after the interval when the game fell away as a spectacle. Mike Balson should have had at least one goal, possibly two, while Dixie McNeil hesitated when well placed, and the ball was cleared. So the last 45 minutes of the season drifted away to an unexciting finish. They were watched by their new manager Mr Frank Broome, who has succeeded Mr Basford, and who was himself the manager between 1958 and 1960.

• Exeter City Reserves have withdrawn from the Western League, and the club will not be running a second team next season.
