St Sidwell’s United
St Sidwell’s United were formed in 1901 with players from several clubs in Exeter. While there appears to have been particular links to one of these clubs, Exeter Wesleyan United, reports suggest that St Sidwell’s were a new organisation. Sid Thomas, an ECFC Hall of Famer, was a founder member, and he represented the club, along with E.Eveleigh, at the formation of the Exeter & District Junior League on 3 June 1901. St Sidwell’s competed in this League for two seasons. The club’s first ground was off Pinhoe Road, a sloping pitch which would later make way for the development of Monks Road and surrounding streets. Before the 1903/04 season, by which time St Sidwell's United had joined the East Devon Senior League, there was a move to St James’ Park, and at the AGM on the 31 May 1904 a decision was taken to change the club's name to Exeter City Association Football Club.

WESTERN TIMES Monday 21 April 1902
(From the British Newspaper Archive.)
“A good deal of interest was centred on the match between St Sidwells Utd and Exeter United on Saturday on the formers ground. On the first occasion the Seniors won 3-2, though it was alleged that the winning goal was then scored after time.
There was no excuse on saturday however for the Saints were on their own ground and had their own referee.
The Saints were fairly and squarely beaten on all points of the game and the record which they held of not having lost during the current season been defeated on their own ground was broken. In the first half playing down the hill, the Exeter United men had matters all their own way, and scored three times through Tyte 2 and Jesty. Sellick replied with one for the Saints. All the Exeter goals were the result of superior combinations.
During the last few weeks the forwards have shown praiseworthy improvements in this department. The backs too were in fine form, Bailey as usual being most prominent both in defence and attack.
The champions of the Junior League relied a good deal on rushing tactics, but these were of no avail against the visiting halves and backs, and they rarely had an opportunity of getting close to their opponents goal.
They however scored once in a fluky manner the ball going in off Luke. A regrettable incident occured towards the end of the game. Robinson was bouncing the ball after a kick out, when he was charged by Tyte.
The goalkeeper replied by kicking the Exeter centre forward. Flood also took part in the affair and the players closed, blows being struck. The referee and some of the players however prevented further disturbance, but the referee ought to have ordered off at least a couple of the men concerned.”
