THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE CUP SEMI FINAL.
ARGYLE RESERVES v CITY RESERVES.

Exeter City Reserves had Poulter at outside-right in the semi final round of the Southern League Cup, at Home Park, today. McArthur played at right half and gave an outstanding display, particularly before the interval. Less than a thousand spectators watched the play, in which the Argyle, though facing the strong wind, impressed as the better and cleverer side in the first half. Exeter Reserves had the greater share of the game, however, and Ebdon, who was a forceful leader, and Poulter were the first to test Davies, the Grecians' old goalkeeper. After twenty minutes the Argyle took the lead, Melaniphy netting from close range following good work by Grozier and Osman. Exeter retaliated strongly but were checked by the Argyle backs, Milne and Wallace. Kirk was injured but resumed. Playing with the wind behind them in the second half the Argyle were easily the better side and scored four goals. They will now oppose Margate in the final.

Result:-
Argyle Reserves 5 City Reserves 0.
