Tuesday night against London City the Fury were defeated 1-0 in a tight battle. The winning goal came late in the second half while City were down to 10 men due to a red card given to one of its players. The first half saw most of the action played in the middle of the field with neither team get- ting many scoring chances. The best chance for the Fury occurred when Matt Strano was robbed on a diving save by the City keeper. Tim Hundey attempted to set up another strike when he sent a ball out of mid-air into the middle of the field but Exeter failed to capitalize. Exeter keeper Andreas Hobyan kept the Fury in the game in the second half and sweeper Ryan Ralph did an excellent job intercepting pass- es and moving the ball up the field. The Fury headed into Sunday's game against Marconi at the Windermere field knowing they were the bottom two teams in Second Division and were headed for Third Division next year. The Fury didn't play their best game in a 5-1 loss against a tough Marconi squad but were victimized by some unfor- tunate bounces in the first half to fall behind 3-0 quickly. Matt Strano replied for Exeter with his third goal of the season on a long blast under the bar to make it 3-1 at the half. Exeter battled hard the sec- ond half and had some oppor- tunities but was turned away each time by the Marconi defense. Ryan Hern showed some magic with some fancy foot- work to create open space and then a cross through the box that was unable to be finished off for a shot on goal. The final whistle brought Hern's Fury career to an end after 12 years. The Fury all-time leader in games played heads into retire- ment having played every posi- tion over the years including goalkeeper. Ryan, along with his brother Craig, was the true heart of the team over the years and will be missed. "There will be some changes next year in terms of players but we will have some fun in Third," said Fury spokesperson Jason McFalls. "Ryan Hern was an excellent teammate and his dedication and support of the Exeter Fury was greatly appreciated and we will miss having him on the team," McFalls added.
