Exeter Flying Post: Saturday 3rd November 1894

Newton v. Torquay Town: This encounter took place at Newton, the home team winning by a dropped goal to nil. The game was of an uninteresting character throughout. The goal was kicked by Pinsent who dropped the ball over the line from the “50” line. Torquay were penned in within their own “25” the whole of the game, Newton being unable to break their defence.

Newton v. Torquay: Played at Newton today. The visitors played against a stiff wind in the first half, and shortly after the start Newton got nearly on the line and lost several chances of scoring by wild passing. Torquay rallied and got down to halfway, when Pinsent, about 12 yards from the centre, dropped a goal for Newton. … (continues) …

Football: Wells, of course, again took the cake, and the Albions could not make him out. He is indeed getting a “wonder” and if he could only go to Keyham on Saturday, Newton should come home victorious. White could not be a better companion for him, and both work like clockwork. Pinsent had scarcely anything to do, except on one occasion when his side were closely penned on the line …

Supporters of football at Newton were perfectly satisfied with the fare provided for them Saturday the Teign Marshes. Taunton, which is the leading team in Somerset with the one exception of Wellington, brought a representative team, and gave Newton a capital game. Kay was unable to take his place in the Newton team as a consequence of an injury received by a fall from a bicycle. With this exception the home team was the same as advertised.

Pinsent exhibited his best form at back for Newton, and undoubtedly higher honours are in store for him. One of the features of the game was the fine half-back play on both sides. C. Wells justified all the good things said about him, playing a brilliant offensive game from the start until the finish, and never lagging the least. … … (continues) … …
