PORT VALE (Poole) 

Saturday February 6th 1965 at St James's Park.

Exeter City:- Shearing; Smyth, Patrick;
Mitchell, Harvey, Anderson; Welsh, Banks, Curtis, Hancock, Thorne.

Port Vale:- Davies; Alcock, Wilson; Rawlings, Nicholson, Sproson; Rowland, Miles, Mitchell, Poole, Mudie.

Referee:- Mr T.Wells of Luton.

Linesmen:- Messrs A. Newman and E.Garfield.

Exeter City have most likely lost the services of top-scoring Alan Banks for some time. He was carried off five minutes before half time with a suspected fractured shin-bone. Before his injury Banks had already given the City the two goals which eventually won them the points. The Banks incident was a tragedy for which no-one was to blame. The City had been playing well, looking good for several more goals and Banks was at his most effective. Reduced to ten men in the second half Exeter fought well, with Curtis and Thorne prominent in their depleted forward line.
