Football: Played at Totnes on Saturday. The visitors kicked off and play settled in the home territory for some time: Teignmouth having rather the best of the matter. … Nott restarted for the homesters, and the visitors rushed into the Totnes twenty-five, Searle kicking to touch. Totnes continually pressed the visitors and did some pretty passing but the Teignmouth defences were sound. From a mark Pinsent just missed a goal and shortly after the same player nearly dropped a goal from the twenty-five-yard flag. From a good following-up Searle was all but over. Play became somewhat uninteresting owing to the darkness and time was called leaving the game a pointless draw.
