The latest victim being a first ever win over the London White Eagles. Playing a 3-1-4-2 starting from the back, the Masters played their best half of the season controlling all aspects of the game. Shawn Tucker over- lapping from his left half position took a pass from Tony Van Mierlo and made no mistake by scoring his first goal of the year. Hubert Haccius, who was left unmarked in front of the White Eagles goal,! scored off a pretty pass from Tony Vandenheuvel. A crossing pass from right half Trevor McGregor enabled Van Mierlo to score the third Exeter goal. Plays were made in the first half by the Masters players leaving even themselves amazed. Near the end of the first half with Exeter up 3-0, the White Eagles team started to press, resulting in their first goal.

An intercepted pass by Mike Flanagan led to a Flanagan pass and Vandenheuvel shot to put Exeter up 4-1. Minutes later a White Eagles forward with a little added theatrics was awarded a penalty shot. He made no mis- take and the game ended with a 4-2 Exeter win. Ron Reymer and Ted DeJong also had strong games defensively. The next game for the Masters is Wednesday night away against the London Wanderers. Their next home game is July 30 at 8 p.m. against Benfica.

Davies LONDON — The Exeter Fury travelled to London Saturday to play the first place Hispanos team and were able to earn a point with a 1-1 tie. Exeter gained the tie on a goal just before the whis- tle blew to end the game. Both teams competed hard throughout the game but scor- ing chances were hard to r come by as strong defensive Andrew Prout play was the story of the day. Joe Forrester did an excellent job of mark- ing the leading scorer of the Hispanos and call up Ron Reymer from the Masters team was solid in his Fury debut. In the first half Marty DeBruyn was hauled down in the box but no penalty shot was issued on the play. After the scoreless first half, the home team got on the board first after one of their players was tripped at the top of the box. The ensuing shot beat Fury keeper Nathan Holmes to give the Hispanos a one - goal advantage. The Fury controlled the midfield in the sec- ond half and moved the ball around well. Ryan Carroll's hustle in the midfield created havoc for the opposi- tion on numer- ous occasions. Exeter kept pressing for the equalizer and with time running out the Fury was awarded a Claybird Gun Club The Exeter Claybird Gun Club held its Annual Russ Beaver Memorial Shoot on Sat., July 17.
