Exmouth United (a)

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1ST.

Exmouth United v Exeter City.

 With a view to fostering the Association game at Exmouth and assisting the funds of the local club, Exeter sent a League team there to play a friendly. Exmouth have not been beaten this season in competition football, and they were expected to make at least some amends for the recent drubbing the City inflicted on them in a friendly at St. James's Park. The afternoon was beautifully fine, and it was not surprising to find a very good "gate." The peculiarities of the ground at Cranford prevented Exeter's professionals giving an exhibition of their best work, but after McCann had headed a centre from Holt over the bar, and then tried to dribble through the whole Exmouth team instead of parting with the ball, the City at last settled down, Brooksbank and Evans both scoring before the interval.

In the second half goals were added by Goodwin, McCann, and Marshall, the final score being:-

Exeter City 5, Exmouth nil.
