Aldershot Res. v Exeter City Res.

Saturday, October 2nd 1937.
SWINDON TOWN 3 (Fowler 2, Lucas) EXETER CITY 0.

Half-time 1-0.

Swindon: Wildman; Swinden, Smith; Cousins, Morrall, Wilcockson; Jones, Fowler, Woods, Lucas, Hetherington.
Exeter: Miller; Brown, Wallace; Kavanagh, Davies, Angus; Miles, Bussey, B.Clarke, Bowl, Liddle.
Referee: Capt.G.Hamilton-Jones, of London.

History had a chance to repeat itself today in acceptable fashion. Visiting Swindon with Ben Clarke, erstwhile full-back, at centre forward, Exeter City recalled that when, nearly fourteen years ago their attack was led at Swindon by a nominal full-back (Andy Flynn) they recorded their first away win of the season. There was unfortunately no repetition today. Exeter gave a feeble display and were deservedly beaten by three clear goals. And had it not been for Swindon's indifferent marksmanship the score at the end of this one-sided match would have reached higher proportions.

CITY RESERVES CRASH AT ALDERSHOT
Wednesday, October 6th 1937.
ALDERSHOT RESERVES 5
EXETER CITY RESERVES 0.


When Topping and Miller got in each other's way in the fifth minute at the Recreation Ground, Hay scored for Aldershot. Aldershot continued to have the better of the play, and Hay got another goal after twenty minutes. Shortly after this Hay was forced to retire through injury, but Aldershot remained on top, and at half-time were leading by 2 goals to nil. Three more goals were registered in the second half without reply from Exeter. Bamsey, returning to duty after an absence of a few weeks through injury, was not a success, and appears to be out of practice.

City Reserves:- Miller; Topping, Kavanagh, A. Coles, Bamsey, Farrell; Coulston, Storey, B. Clarke, Pope, W. Clarke.
