Exeter City:

The Grecians this afternoon had a stiff engagement when they met the "Swans" in their Welsh stronghold. They were sharing in one of the greatest, if not the greatest, encounters of the season. It was by way of being a grand finale. The Welshmen are the possessors of an unbeaten ground record, and they realised that if they were to carry off the championship of the Southern Section, and thereby win promotion to the Second Division, they had to win.
The Argyle, before today's game, had the championship in their grasp, having completed all their fixtures, and having one point in their favour over the Swans and a better goal average. There was a record attendance, estimated at twenty five thousand people, on the Swansea ground today, and they had the gratification of seeing the Swans gain promotion to the Second League by winning their last match of the season by two goals to one against Exeter City. The crush of spectators was so great that before the start of the game men and women were carried out of the ground in a fainting condition, and when the players came on to the field large numbers of people had been allowed to border the touch-lines. Swansea set up a terrific pace from the start, and the Grecians perforce settled down to a keen defensive role. Fowler, the former "Pilgrim," raced clean through the City defence to score the first goal after twelve minutes' play to a veritable tumult of cheering and excitement.

GAME STOPPED FOR REPAIRS TO BARRIERS.
The crowd swayed and the barriers on two sides of the ground gave way. The game was stopped, and could not be resumed until officials of the Swansea club, aided by the Police, had erected additional stanchions and propped up the broken barriers. In the meantime the St John's Ambulance Brigade had been busy, carrying more people out of the ground. Swansea played the fastest game ever seen on the Vetch Field up till the interval, and twelve minutes before half-time their lead was increased by Thomson with a grand shot from a back-heeled pass by Deacon. Swansea had dominated the game during the thrilling half an hour of play, and the only time Exeter had threatened danger was when Matthews and Compton had led unsuccessful raids on the Welsh citadel.
SECOND HALF.
Swansea Town kept up the pressure in the second half for a long time, but at a slightly reduced pace, and eventually the City had a greater share of the play, Robson making several good saves in the Swansea goal. There were but a few minutes to go when Smelt passed to Blackmore, following a corner, and the Silvertonian duly scored for Exeter. Swansea Town, obtaining the full points from this match, are now promoted.
JUBILATION IN SWANSEA.
There were extraordinary scenes after the game. The whole crowd enveloped the field in a dense mass, singing, shouting and cheering in their jubilation, and it was an hour or more before the playing arena could be cleared. All the Swansea players (and some of Exeter's) were carried in, shoulder-high, to their dressing-rooms, and many speeches were made from the grand-stand. The Swansea team later made a triumphal tour of the town in two char-a-banc, accompanied by massed bands.

Southern League
City Reserves v Swansea Reserves 
The final Southern League match of the season was played at St James's Park this afternoon, between the reserve teams of the City and Swansea Town. Jones won the toss for the Grecians, and Swansea kicked off towards St James's Road facing a light breeze. Swansea began at a fast pace, and Whitehead opened the score for them in just under five minutes. When Exeter took play to the Swansea half they could make little impression, and when the visitors came again Whitehead was grassed just outside the penalty line, and from the free kick Davies drove over the bar. Swansea were by far the more polished side, and they continued to play the more attractive football, the work of Exeter appearing very ragged by comparison. After twenty-five minutes Holland received the ball from Whitehead and beat Pavey with a well directed shot, eight yards out of goal.
Second Half.
Thrustful work by Davis looked promising, and a corner was won, but Lendon's flag-kick was poorly placed, Martin clearing. Exeter carried the play to the Swansea end more frequently in the second half, but the Swans showed clever and determined combination in defence, and never looked like losing anything of their lead. In the closing stages Shelton made a good attempt from a corner taken by Lendon, but his shot was saved by Martin.
Exeter:
Pavey; Coleburne, Lowton; Crawshaw, Appleyard, Jones; Newman, Murray, Davis, Shelton, and Lendon.
Swansea: Martin; Bennett, Williams; Handley, Humphries, Davies; Thomas, Lewis, Whitehead, Holland, and Spottiswood.
Result: Exeter Reserves 0 Swansea Reserves 2.

Swansea Town won the championship of the Third Division South, and their Reserves the championship of the Southern League. Plymouth Argyle were runners-up to Swansea in the Third League, while their Reserves were runners-up to Swansea Reserves in the Southern League.
