COLCHESTER RUN IS OVER

Colchester 1, Exeter 2

EXETER added to their FA Cup exploits by becoming the first team to win a League match at Colchester since March. Two goals in half-an-hour had Colchester struggling, and although Kevin Bremner pulled one back, the men from Devon held on. Tony Kellow laid on Exeter's first goal for Dick Forbes (photo). Then goalkeeper Mike Walker's bad throw put Dennis Longhorn in trouble and from Peter Rogers' cross David Pullar scored.
