EXETER CITY

Torquay were a lucky side to beat Exeter City at Plainmoor today. The City deserved at least a point on the strength of their play in the second half. All the scoring came after the interval, and weak goalkeeping was responsible as much as anything else for Exeter's defeat. Tierney, who was again nervous and unreliable, should have saved both the Torquay goals, which were scrappy affairs.
