GARNER RAPS IN TWO MORE

Southend 3, Exeter 0

SOUTHEND kept up their promotion push with a win that lifted them into second place in the Fourth Division.

They threatened to rip Exeter a part as they eased themselves ahead with goals by Gary Moore and Bill Garner in the first twenty minutes. Then Exeter began to hustle them out of their stride and Southend lost all their early rhythm. But Southend's defence was able to smother Exeter's dangerous front-runners. Winger Bernard Lewis was a constant threat to Exeter and had a hand in all three goals. The third came eleven minutes from time when Garner blasted in his eleventh of the season.
