Ipswich Town v ECFC (L 4-0)
FA Cup R2

IPSWICH TOWN KNOCK EXETER OUT OF THE CUP.

GARNEYS HEADS TWO IN A FOUR GOALS VICTORY.

Singleton was recalled to keep goal for Exeter City at Ipswich today because Lear became an influenza victim overnight. In recognition of the fact that he was playing against his old club, Angus Mackay was Exeter's captain for the day, and he made good a start by winning the toss.

IPSWICH TOWN 4 EXETER CITY O.

Second round F.A.Cup at Portman Road, attendance 11,819. Saturday, December 15th 1951.

Ipswich took the lead after 34 minutes, Garneys finding the net with a well-placed header which Singleton was unable to reach. Garneys, a minute or so before the interval, beat Singleton with another headed goal, enabling the home side to cross over with a two-nil lead.

Ipswich: Parry; Feeney, Tyler; Murchison, Rees, Parker; Dobson, McCrory, Garneys, Driver, Roberts.

Exeter: Singleton; Warren, Rowe; Goddard, Doyle, Davey; Digby, Smart, Mitchell, Mackay, McClelland.

Referee:- Mr S.A.Gotts of Birmingham.

Exeter were seldom in the game as an attacking force during the second half, although there were less than ten minutes remaining when Driver obtained the third goal for Ipswich. Just before the end Dobson added the fourth, tapping the ball into the net from a yard's range, after Singleton had been lured out.

Too slow and too weak in every department, Exeter seldom looked like making a fight of this Cup-tie. Ipswich were in the ascendant right from the start and never relaxed their grip.

In fact Exeter's fate was to all intents and purposes settled by the two headers into the net by Garneys before the interval.
