DEVON PROFESSIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11TH 1951:
EXETER CITY v PLYMOUTH ARGYLE.

Beaten by two goals to nothing at St James's Park, on Wednesday evening, by Plymouth Argyle, Exeter City are out of the Devon Championship, and the story of their exit bears all the familiar sub-titles, namely slowness on the ball, and lack of finishing in attack.The Argyle were the masters of pace and craft, and although their triumph was delayed until the last 15 minutes, they deserved to win a game which was poor in the first half but became livelier in the second. Plymouth's goals were scored by Tadman and Govan.

City: Singleton; Johnstone, Rowe; Harrower, Doyle, Davey; Hutchings, Smart, Smith, Lynn, McClelland.

Argyle:- Shortt; Smith, Jones; McShane, Chisholm, Porteous; Strauss, Willis, Tadman, Rattray, Govan.

EXETER CITY RESERVES 1 TONBRIDGE 0

At least the match at St James's Park between Exeter City Reserves and Tonbridge had one distinguishing mark. It was the scrappiest game of the season. The only Exeter players to emerge with credit were Smyth, scorer of the winning goal, Stan Charlton junior, and McClelland.

City Reserves:- Salter; Charlton, Greenaway; Smart, Carter, Wilkinson; Short, Seager, Dare, Smyth, McClelland.
Tonbridge:- Gill; Linton, Bell; Fleming, McMillen, Lunn; Dryden, Miles, Parkes, Mulheron, Bickley.

• Exeter City's away match with Port Vale was postponed, the ground being waterlogged.
