Exeter City:
Pym. Coleburne. Feebery. Crawshaw. Carrick.  Taylor. Appleton. Makin. Shields. Hetherin . Dockray.

Referee:- Mr R.C. Wilding,

The morning was showery, but rain settled in at noon and kept on steadily. The ground was raw and watery in places, but better than expected in view of the weather. 
Brown won the toss, and Shields set the ball rolling. The game began at three o'clock, when about 9000 were present. A strong cross wind appeared likely to make conditions difficult.
The "Swans" has better of the opening exchanges, Feebery doing well to nip in and punctuate a smart combined move in which Ivor Jones was prominent. Milne performed a similar service at the other end, and when Swansea took up the running again Coleburne pulled up Jones unfairly, McCullum shooting high over the bar from the free-kick, just outside the penalty area. 

Rain continued to fall, and the players were very soon covered in mud. A neat header by Taylor put Exeter on the attack, and the next pass, from Crawshaw, put Makin through in the centre. Makin raced ahead and shot in his full stride, the ball clearing the bar with only a few inches to spare. 
Exeter's goal now underwent two hairbreadth escapes. The home forwards advanced on the left and Spottiswoode centred. Pym, who was hampered by his own defenders, failed to gather the ball and Brown headed into a seemingly vacant goal, but Taylor jumped into the breach and headed clear. An extraordinary scramble, more like a Rugby scrum than a football move, took place in front of the City goal, and it looked at one time that the ball had been forced over the line, but Feebery eventually cleared.

City Take the Lead.
The play of Exeter's backs was a pleasing feature, the more so as Carrick and his colleagues were frequently beaten for pace by the Swansea inside men. Carrick also earned the disapproval of the crowd for using his weight unfairly, on one or two occasions.
A beautiful move by Dockray, with Taylor helping, saw the ball flashed the centre. Shields missed the header, but prevented Milne from clearing, and Makin, with a first time shot all along the carpet, drove the ball into the corner of the goal.
Fourteen minutes before the interval hands against  the City on the edge of the penalty area looked ominous, but Pym effected a sensational save from McMallum's free-kick on the goal-line. Swansea equalised seven minutes later, Edmondson hooking the ball into the goal from a long pass.

Half time Swansea 1-1 City Reserves.

Second Half 
Pym cleared brilliantly from Hole, and a header by Spottiswoode went over the bar. It was a remarkably fine game, considering the heavy going. Swansea combined better, their passing being exact, but the City were doggedly determined and fought every inch of the way. 
With twenty minutes to go, and anybody's game so far, Carrick was penalised for the third time just outside the City's penalty area, and Brown sent in a direct shot, which Pym saved.

Players Cautioned.
Carrick brought Jones down, and the referee called some of the players to him, and cautioned them. The free-kick went wide. Swansea were making strenuous efforts, but keen tackling by the City defenders proved effective. Another free-kick against Exeter looked ominous, but offside followed the shot.
There was tremendous excitement over an incident in the City's penalty area when the ball struck one of the backs high up, and a penalty for hands was claimed by Swansea. The referee consulted a linesman and bounced the ball, whereupon a hostile demonstration against the officials broke out. Five minutes before the finish a penalty was awarded against Carrick for fouling Brown, Edmondson scoring with a fierce drive.

Notes on the Game.
Exeter played their best "away" game of the season, but their dogged work was marred by the infringements of the centre-half due more awkwardness than to wrong intent. The forwards played well when they got the ball, which was very seldom in the last quarter of the game. The full-backs and Pym were at their best, while Crawshaw was the pick of the intermediate line.

Reserve Match
City Reserves v Swansea Reserves.
The Reserves of Swansea Town, who defeated Exeter City Reserves by five goals to nil last Saturday, were the visitors to St James's Park this afternoon, in the return match. They are the leaders of the Western League and stand a good chance of winning it.
There was a good attendance, but the weather was dull, and rain fell steadily as the team's entered the field. Rouse, of the Exeter Argyle F.C., played centre-half for the Grecians.

Reserves:-
Charles. Pollard. Betteridge. Lakin. Rouse. Hilton. McIntyre. Vowles. Hesmondhalgh. Brayshaw. Kelland.
Swansea:-
Crumley. Stapleton. Evans (S). Durnin. Ogley. Smith. Hoyland. McDevitt. Burley. Ribsley. Slater. 

Swansea were aggressive in the early stages, but Exeter were on the alert, and Pollard with a good header, cleared from Ogley.
Crumley came out and cleared from Hesmondhalgh, who had received from Brayshaw.
Charles saved at short range from McDevitt, who had been put through by Durnin. The City Reserves began to combine well, and after thirty minutes Hesmondhalgh netted following a mistake by the Swansea defence. Hesmondhalgh added a second goal from a nice centre by Kelland.
McDevitt scored for Swansea in the second half, Charles having missed the ball from Slater's centre.
