SATURDAY 18th APRIL 1903.

St Sidwell's United v Crediton Y M.C.A. 

St. Sidwell's United played Crediton Y.M.C.A. at Exeter on Saturday. It was expected that St Sidwell's would have beaten their opponents. but this was not so, in as much as the game ended in a draw of one goal each. The play was fast and interesting from the commencement. Eveleigh scored for the Saints, and Harris for the Y.M.C.A.

Exwick and Excelsior met at Exwick, and a well-contested game ended in a draw of two goals each. Badcock and Ashford scored for Exwick, and Fenwick and Nickols for Excelsior.

Exeter Junior League.

A match has been arranged to be played between Si Sidwell's and a team picked from the rest of the Clubs in the League, on Saturday next. April 25th, at Mount Pleasant, when a very good game should be witnessed. It is hoped to secure a good gate, not only of "Soccer" supporters of the various Clubs concerned, but also of "Rugger" supporters, who will have a chance of seeing the game which has been so strongly taken up by junior footballers of the City and County.

Inasmuch as the Saints hac not drawn previously on their ground, and had lost only one match there, and two altogether on any ground for the season, the Y.M.C.A. may well be proud of their performance against such a strong team, who in addition to the above- mentioned record, have won the Exeter and District Junior Cup.
