CITY HAD ALL THE PLAY BUT MISSED THEIR CHANCES.
BRIGHTON WERE LUCKY TO SALVAGE A POINT.
Saturday, April 1st 1950.
BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION 0
EXETER CITY 0.
Inability to take their chances negatived Exeter City's approach work at Brighton, where they were superior to the home team in everything except finishing off their attacks. The "Seasiders" were fortunate to salvage a point in a match that was a replica of the Exeter v Bristol City encounter a week ago.
Brighton:- Baldwin; Tennant, Vitty; Willard, South, Brennan; Roberts, McNichol, Thompson, Whent, Connelly.
Exeter City:- Singleton; Johnstone, Clark; Fallon, Goddard, Davey; Mackay, Smart, Smith, McClelland, Regan.
Southern League
CITY RESERVES 2 (Rew, Harrower)
HEREFORD UNITED 0.
RESERVES BEAT HEREFORD
Exeter City Reserves beat Hereford United by 2-0 at St. James's Park. Rew scored in four minutes but although generally the more dân- gerous, Exeter had to wait until m.idway through the second half before they went further ahead. Latham, in the Hereford goal, then made a partial clearance from Walker and, with the defence in a tangle, Harrower lobbed the ball in over the heads of several defenders.
Team:- Hoyle; Doyle, Rowe; Squires, Carter, Greenwood; Harrower, Rew, Walker, Hutchings, Murphy.
