Port Vale (h)
Southern League
Worcester City (a)
EXETER CITY V PORT VALE.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10TH 1951.
This was Exeter City at their worst. The team which held Chelsea to a draw at St James's Park and only lost by a couple of second half goals at Stamford Bridge in the replay, and followed this up by hitting the jackpot against the Argyle, touched rock bottom in today's match, and were defeated on their own pitch by 3 goals to none. The Grecians in fact played so badly that hundreds of people left St James's Park long before the end of the game. City 0 Port Vale 3 (Polk, Hulligan, Martin).
Half-time 0-1.
