Taking place on Saturday, July 18, the event marks the launch of the club's new youth programme, which is open to children entering Year 7 and above.

The team takes its name from the famous US Navy Seabees, who were based at Countess Wear during the Second World War and represented Europe in the 1945 European Baseball Championships, with matches played at Exeter City's St James Park....

The Grecians take all three points at St James Park

Dean Moxey’s strike deep into first-half injury time proved the difference in a win for Exeter City as they overcame Stevenage at St James Park.

The Grecians put in a dominant display in the first half, and they scored the all-important goal when Moxey was in the right place at the right time to fire home in a crowded penalty area.

City then defended well for the rest of the match, as they kept a clean sheet to continue their good run of form.

City manager Matt Taylor made two changes from the side that drew 1-1 at Port Vale on Saturday, with Lee Martin and...

Five weeks into the new Gallagher Premiership season and Worcester Director of Rugby Alan Solomons believes it's already a two-horse race between Saracens and Exeter Chiefs for English rugby's top prize.

The South African's assessment came in the wake of his side being downed in Devon as the Chiefs maintained their unbeaten start to the new season with a 28-11 success at Sandy Park.

Rob Baxter's outfit bagged their fourth maximum haul of the campaign, but in truth they were never at their ruthless best and their esteemed leader admitted as much at the final whistle....

Grecians have to settle for a point at Vale Park

Exeter City were denied all three points at Vale Park as Idris Kanu headed home in the seventh-minute of stoppage time to deny the Grecians a hard-earned victory.

Matt Taylor’s men nudged themselves in front when Nicky Law side-footed home a well-worked goal in the 48th-minute and then they defended resolutely to keep Port Vale out heading into what, by the fourth-official, was deemed to be five minutes of injury-time.

However, with 96 minutes on the clock, the referee allowed Port Vale to take one more corner and from Tom Conlon's cross the ball dropped kindly for Kanu to...

Chiefs side to face Worcester Warriors

Ali Hepher insists Exeter Chiefs have been duly warned of the threat posed by visiting Worcester Warriors in tomorrow's Gallagher Premiership clash at Sandy Park (3pm). Worcester's impressive 44-37 win at Leicester Tigers last weekend certainly lifted heads across the division, not just in the fact that it elevated the Warriors off the foot of the table with their first win of the campaign, but the fact they were able to pick off their more illustrious rivals in their own lair. Now, they will head West looking to not only build on that success, but at the same time claim the scalp of the...

Exeter Chiefs maintained pole position in this season’s Gallagher Premiership, notching up a fourth win on the bounce against rivals Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park.

Facing off against familiar foes - last season the two clubs met on four occasions - Rob Baxter’s side were given their stiffest examination of the new season yet by a resilient Falcons outfit.

Sam Simmonds, surprisingly left out of this week’s 36-man England training squad, gave a timely reminder to coach Eddie Jones of his powers, bagging two of Exeter’s three tries on the night.

He not only took...

Grecians come from behind to claim win

Exeter City scored their 1000th goal under Trust ownership as they came from behind to claim a 3-1 win over Cheltenham Town.

Michael Duff's side took the lead late in the first half when Ryan Broom struck, but a turnaround half from the Grecians saw Pierce Sweeney fire home before Jayden Stockley scored from close range to put City ahead.

Jonathan Forte then made sure the points were safe for the Grecians as he scored late with a smart finish.

The Grecians made one change from the 2-1 win at Mansfield Town last time out with Lee Holmes missing through...

It’s a sign of the times that even when Rob Baxter carries out a major overhaul of his Exeter Chiefs side, they continue to ooze class in this season’s Gallagher Premiership.

Not exactly the same vintage as their two previous wins against Leicester Tigers and Wasps, this season’s pace-setters maintained their perfect start - recording another five-point haul - as they overcame rivals Sale Sharks in a hard-fought encounter at Sandy Park.

Tries from Santiago Cordero, Jonny Hill, Jack Maunder Tom Lawday and Alex Cuthbert were the key highlights for the Devonians, while...

Perfect 10 for rampant Exeter Chiefs

Rob Baxter’s Exeter Chiefs side made it a ‘perfect ten’ as they saw off rivals Wasps at the Ricoh.

Maximum reward the week previous against Leicester Tigers, Devon’s finest again put up an impressive showing, securing six tries and putting them in pole position of the Gallagher Premiership after two rounds.

England stars Sam Simmonds and Henry Slade (pictured) both both bagged a brace, while there were further touchdowns for Santiago Cordero and Don Armand. Fly-half Gareth Steenson completed the job, finishing with a sublime seven from seven kicks.

Wasps, it has to...
