Match 13
28th October 1936
ECFC v Cardiff City
Wednesday, October 28th.
EXETER CITY 1 CARDIFF CITY 0. Southern Section Cup-tie.
Although the weather was fine there was only a handful of onlook ers at the start of Exeter City's Third Division Cup match with Cardiff City at St James's Park this afternoon. Both sides made several changes, and the teams lined up:
EXETER CITY
Tierney
Brown Boyle
Clarke Angus Shadwell
Keane Johnson Williams McGill Urmson
L.Ford Scott Nicholson Bassett Main Pugh Pinxton Walton
Talbot Ovenstone
Fielding
CARDIFF CITY
Cardiff kicked off from the railway end and launched two dangerous raids in the first minute. Walton, for whom Cardiff paid £1,000 to Bolton Wanderers yesterday for his transfer, was bundled off the ball as he was making speedy tracks goalwards, and then Tierney had to rush out of his goal to clear a well placed corner by Ovenstone.
LIVELY CARDIFF.
Continuing to show impressive form, the visitors were very lively on both wings, and their forwards generally were much cleverer and faster than Exeter's despite the temporary absence of Main, who had to go off with an eye injury. Johnson and Williams narrowly failed to meet the ball as it across from Keane, and McGill had a shot saved by Fielding. came Towards the interval much of Cardiff's early sparkle disappeared, and the balance of play now rested with Exeter. Angus, reintroduced at centre half, played an effective game, and in the forward line Keane was a tricky and dangerous winger. The only goal of the match was scored by Johnson for Exeter in the second half.
The attendance was in the region of 2,000.
