Season Review

REVIEW OF 1903-1904.
by Rover Football Express
Concerning the players of St Sidwell United this season, it has been more so than in the past, possible to keep a settled team together in most matches, and this has largely been the reason of the club having such a succesful season, Rbinson, the goalkeeper has been in fine fettle, and shaped well in particularly all the games. The Reserves goalkeeper, Cann, shows promise of becoming a good custodian in time, The backs have defended very stoutly, and the strong and useful kicking of Ashford has been a feature, Davidson is a star Halfback. The way he breaks up the combined moves of opposing forwards is splendid to behold, Wallage except on occasions when he has been brilliant is not consistent, while Morgan, the Captain, is better at attacking than at defending.
ST SIDWELLS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING REPORT
Western Times 1 June 1904
The Annual General meeting of the St Sidwells Football club was held at the Red Lion in Sidwell Street. Mr C Fay took the chair and the Hon Secretary Mr W. H. Thomas reported that the club had a balance in hand of £5.5s
Last season the first eleven played 29 matches, winning 20, losing 5 and drawing 4 scoring 108 goals against 43.
The position of the team was third which was a very creditable performance. In the East Devon cup the club reached the final when they were defeated by the 110th Battery 2-1.
This in no way disgraced the club considering the Battery were in the final for the Second Army Corps cup. The Reserves played 27 matches winning 20, losing 3 and drawing 4. They occupied third place in the Exeter & District Junior League. The Chairman voted the adoption of the report, seconded by Mr Morgan and carried.
“Name Change”
Mr H. Willey was elected President for the coming year. Other officers were elected and the decision was taken to change the name of the St Sidwell’s club to the Exeter City Association Football Club.
