Southend v City 

EXETER LOSE AND OLDACRE IS SENT OFF

Saturday, April 17.
The Kursaal, Southend.

SOUTHEND UNITED 2 EXETER CITY 0.

A disappointing match for Exeter City at the Kursaal, the new ground of the Southend United club, resulted in a defeat by two goals, scored by Upex (first half) and Jones (second half), to nil.

The game in the second half, in fact shortly before Southend obtained their second goal, was marred by an unpleasant incident, culminating in the dismissal from the field of Oldacre. His crime was that he took exception to a particularly bad foul on him by Marshall, and retaliated.

SOUTHEND:

Leahy; Reid, and Marshall; Wileman, Bollington, and Evans; Jones, Nicholls, Upex, Allen, and Young.

EXETER CITY:

Pym; Coleburne, and Strettle; Crawshaw, Popplewell, and Mitton; Oldacre, Makin, Goodwin, Hetherington, and Dockray.

REFEREE: Mr H. G. Tyler, of East Ham, London.
