Oldham 0 Exeter City 0

Second division strugglers Exeter made Oldham fight all the way to keep their cup hopes alive. City took everything the Premier League Club had to offer in a game which began late because of a power failure. lan Marshall saw his fourth minute shot hacked off the City line and then hit the bar in the 25th minute as Oldham started brightly. Ron Jepson twice went close for the visitors and Tom Kelly hit a post with a fearsome shot with 10 minutes to go.
