Budleigh Salterton v Exeter City.

 The newly formed Soccer Club of Budleigh Salterton opened the season today when they entertained Exeter City, who kindly arranged to pay a visit and give an exhibition game. The attendance was a good one, the spectators being delighted with the play of the Grecians. In the first half Salterton defended well, Teed, the goalkeeper, saving on several occasions. Goals were scored for the City by Smith and Brooksbank (2), whilst Lane, of Salterton, kicked into his own goal.

The second half was more in favour of the City, who kept up an attack practically throughout. Teed, Wilkes and Toop, however, at times defended well. Brooksbank, Lovett (4), Hunt, and Lee (2) put through for the Grecians, whilst Curtis put through his own goal, making the final score:-
