ALDERSHOT 2 EXETER CITY 0. 

A goal in each half settled Exeter City's fate at Aldershot to day. The home side had much the steadier defence, and they also had the livelier forward line, which more fully appreciated the value of direct methods.
Aldershot:- Greaves; Eastwood and Kelly; Wainwright, Summerbee, and Dixon; Raynor, Chalmers, Ray, Egan, and Proud.
Exeter City:- Church; Halliday and Little; Walker, Angus, Fellowes; Ebdon, Bussey, Bowl, Riley, and C.Sutherley.

Chris Sutherley made a useful first appearance for the "Chiefs, but Ebdon was out of place on the right wing. Exeter were denied a penalty when a shot from Ebdon was handled by a defender.

CITY RESERVES 3
ALDERSHOT RESERVES 2.

The highlight of the Reserves' match at St James's Park was the goal scored by Mellish which levelled the scores in the first half. Turnbull then gave Exeter the lead. Williams equalised for Aldershot after the interval, but another goal by Mellish won the game for Exeter.
