ALDERSHOT 0

Half-time City 3 Aldershot 0.

Attendance 7,718, receipts £580. 19s. 6d.
Exeter City: Singleton; Johnstone, Rowe; Bartholomew, Gibson, Walker; Hutchings, Evans, Dymond, Mackay, Regan.

With Mackay in brilliant form Aldershot's defence was over-run in this, the most one-sided game seen at Exeter this season. The City won by 40 and could have doubled their tally of goals. Aldershot were barren of constructive ideas and without any defensive method. Seldom did Brooks and his colleagues advance in a line, and it was not until the game had reached three quarter time that Aldershot gained the first of the two corners they forced in this one way contest. The strength of the Exeter attack was the left-wing partnership of Mackay and Regan. The former was the outstanding player in the game and Regan, quick to respond to his partner's prompting, was a constant menace to Rogers, who was too slow and frequently caught out of position.
