WALSALL 4 EXETER CITY 2.

Though losing Chesters, injured, in the first half at Walsall, the City went down fighting this afternoon. The "Saddlers" played inspiring football in the first half. Their shooting was brilliant, and it was in this half that they laid the foundation for victory. After the interval Exeter were the better team. Chesters was off the field for about ten minutes, and with Stimpson in goal two goals were scored against Exeter in that period.

Exeter: Chesters; Brown, Stimpson; Clarke, Hobbs, Shadwell;Thompson, Scott, Williams, McGill, Urmson. Referee:- Mr F.J.Lowe, of Bristol.

There was an amazing start, three goals being scored in less than four minutes. The early marksmen were Bulger and Cunningham for the home team and Shadwell for Exeter. Twelve minutes after the start Chesters left his goal in an effort to check Dunderdale and was kicked in the face. With Stimpson in goal first Bradford and then Landells scored for Walsall. The only goal of the second half was obtained by T.Scott for Exeter. The attendance was 4,422.
