Gillingham-Exeter City Gills Gain Revenge and Move into the Play-offs

After losing 3-0 in the corresponding away fixture a few months back, Gillingham gained revenge over League Two rivals Exeter City with a 1-0 victory at the KRBS Priestfield stadium. A goal from Adam Miller in the 79th minute was the difference between the two sides, as the Gills move up to fourth in the table after securing their third succe sive league win.

In the 20th minute, Gillingham hit the cro s-bar themselves, when a sweet free-kick from Nicky Southall, reminiscent of the one he scored against Millwall last season, cannoned straight off the upright.

On-loan signing Jamie Peters was given his Gillingham debut in the final minutes by manager Mark Stimson, much to the delight of the home fans. The tricky winger didnt disappoint, as his pure pace and skill bamboozled the weary Exeter defenders in the closing stages. After the moans and groans by the home fans at the announcement of four additional minutes to be played, Gillingham held on after a barrage of Exeter attacks, to see the game out and secure a much deserved 1-0 win.
