PETERBOROUGH UNITED 0
EXETER CITY 0 

Saturday December 12th at Peterborough.

Peterborough United:- Sims; Cooper, Birks; Crowe, Rankmore, Orr; Barnes, Conmy, Dougan, Deakin, McNamee.

Exeter City:- Shearing; Smyth, MacDonald; Mitchell, Harvey, Anderson;
Welsh, Curtis, Ley, Hancock, Thorne. Referee:- Mr R.Aldous of Ipswich.

Adrian Thorne made his first appearance of the season on the left wing for Exeter City, Rees being still an influenza victim. The City in their first match of the season had beaten Peterborough at St James's Park by 4-2 but since then a vast improvement had been made by the losers of that game. Before the start of today's match Peterborough were ninth compared to Exeter's nineteenth. Today's game was certainly fast moving with plenty of end-to-end play but at the same time uninspiring on account of the fact that on both sides the forwards lacked goal-getting punch. Dougan, Peterborough's most dangerous forward, who was a member of the Blackburn Rovers cup final team of 1960, was generally mastered by Harvey, while Mitchell was equally prominent in Exeter's defence.
