Played at St James's Park, Exeter.
Attendance 5,000.

Exeter City staged a second half come-back and defeated their visitors from Bournemouth by three goals to one after being a goal behind at the interval. In a rousing rally the City dominated the exchanges during the second half. Even the brilliant Bournemouth defence wilted under the severe pressure which Exeter exerted in this period.
