BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION v EXETER CITY. 

SATURDAY, MARCH 17TH 1951.

Thrashed badly, Exeter City again had most of the faults and few of the virtues against Brighton on the Goldstone Ground, where they were beaten by 4 goals to 1 this afternoon. Exeter were hopelessly inferior to the foe in practically every position. Not one man in the beaten team played well, and most of them were sadly below 3rd Division standard.
