Wednesday 16th August
Football League Cup Round 1
Brighton 2-1 Exeter City 

There was no denying that the first half belonged to City, and they deservedly led after 22 minutes with Fred Binney's goal. There were a few moments early.
on when the back four and reserve goalkeeper Alan Dovey were little more than strangers in the night. Eventually the pattern knitted together and Dovey gained confidence. to make two fine saves in the last 20 minutes from Binney and Dick Plumb from shots that could so easily have caused a shock defeat. For a time City took over, Plumb twice throwing the defence into confusion and shooting wide before Binney headed a well-taken goal and plunged the Goldstone into alarm. Brighton Evening Argus
