EXETER CITY 0
BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION 4.

Played at St James's Park in showery weather. Failing altogether to maintain their promising form of the first half the City faded very badly and eventually were overwhelmed by Brighton, a better, faster, and more virile side. There were 6,000 spectators.

BRIGHTON AND HOVE

Although Brighton dominated most of the play there were occasional bright flashes by Exeter when anything might have happened, and it was not until one minute before the interval that Davie crowned a clever dribble by Richards to put Brighton in the lead. Tierney made many spectacular saves, and to add to his difficulty he was not covered by Brown and Boyle as effectively as he should have been. Thomson, at the other end, was brilliant, particularly on three occasions when grand efforts by Williams and McGill had the look of "goal" written all over them.

SECOND HALF.
Exeter struck a bad patch after the change of ends. Williams put in one snap shot that struck the upright, but that turned out to be the City's one and only chance. A series of glaring mistakes by the City defence gave the visitors chances of which they took full advantage. Davie cut past Brown to give Stephens a "walk-in" goal, and hardly. had the ball been kicked off again before Davie beat Angus in the race for possession and ran through to score Brighton's third. Richards in his own half of the field began a move which cleared the way for Davie to add the fourth and final goal and complete the "hat-trick."
