David Worth Memorial Shield

Plymouth Pilgrims (away)

Late blast to share shield

Exeter Ladies F.C. staged a magnificent fight-back against Plymouth yesterday in the David Worth Memorial Shield match at Tavis- tock.

Exeter were losing 4-1 with 15 minutes to go in this, their first pre-season friendly, but a three-goal blast rocked Plymouth and the scores were level at full time.

Penny Wilson, returning to the club after a spell with Kingsteignton, grabbed two goals, Bridget Thomas, one, and Jackie Kernick the other with a fine solo effort.

The clubs agreed to keep the trophy for six months each.
