prowess with any otl'eni e in their
1-0 defeat to London's Forest Unit-
ed on Sunday at Nabisco Field.
The loss drops Exeter to filth and
out oldie 1 urth and last playoff
spot in the Division iI'Central race.
After Unitcd:took an early lead.
Exeter put on the pressure but had
no Tuck tinkling the net. Mark
F3rintnell struck the hall well to–
ward the near post from eight
yards out in the first half hut the
United keeper managed to get a
hand on it to knock it aside.
Exeter's Jeremy Wright had the
hest chance in the second half
when Joe Martens crossed one per-
• fectly to the far post where Wright
was waiting with a yawning cage.
-Wright's header just missed the
post. Kuban Chelladurai fed Mar-
tens with a nice pass to the corner:
Now with a 9-6-3 record and a
• league playoff spot, in jeopardy,
