Chiefs side to face Harlequins

Ali Hepher has dismissed talk that Exeter Chiefs will be coasting their way through tomorrow's (Saturday) final round of the Aviva Premiership away to Harlequins at The Stoop (4pm). Having already secured top spot and a home semi-final following their exertions already this season, some observers have muttered that the defending champions may well take the opportunity to rest up and relax ahead of their last four encounter against either Newcastle Falcons or Wasps on May 19. That notion, however, was quickly dispelled by Head Coach Hepher at this week's media briefing, where he in fact...

Kiev more than just theatre for UEFA Champions league trophy

As the countdown to the Champions League finals continues, we take a look at not just the teams involved in the showdown but two talismanic individuals that hopes to defy the odds in acquiring Balon d’or accolades to complement their unique and consistent display in the current season.

The First is a 33-year-old Portuguese attacker who have continually defied the odds of football and age with mouth-watering displays. The Portuguese plies his trade with the reigning continental champions Real Madrid. The other is a 25-year-old Egyptian attacker that have defied the odds with...

Chiefs 34 Sharks 19

As the final prep is made to Harry and Meghan’s big day on May 19, so the planning is already being put in place for Exeter’s showpiece occasion on the same day.

The Chiefs already knew they had home advantage for next month’s semi-final showdown at Sandy Park, but they helped rubber-stamp their authority in the Aviva Premiership by collecting a maximum haul against visiting Sale Sharks.

Tries from Nic White White, Lachie Turner, Jack Yeandle and Greg Holmes were the highlights of another decent display from Rob Baxter’s side, whose latest victory on home turf ensured they...

Grecians fall to defeat at the Lamex stadium

Exeter City fell to a 3-1 defeat away from home against Stevenage in Sky Bet League Two.

In a match where the Grecians created a host of chances, it was the hosts who were the more clinical as Alex Revell claimed a hat-trick at the Lamex stadium.

Pierce Sweeney did pull one back for City from the penalty spot but it wasn't to be as City will now have to settle for a play-off spot as they continue to search for promotion.

Sunny weather and smiles all round for Exeter University Sailing Club’s debut event

Exeter University Sailing Club took a break from revision last weekend, to host their brand-new event: EUSC Reunion Race Weekend.

Open to members, alumni and family alike, the event saw five teams descend to the Solent to compete for the Rory Cheetham Memorial Cup, in a fantastic weekend of friendly racing.

Good wind all weekend meant that the sailors managed to fit in a full round robin on Saturday, and half on Sunday before going into the tense knockout stages. Southampton cruised to victory, proving that quality over quantity, is the key to success.

They didn’t...

Sale will provide Chiefs with the 'perfect test' says Hepher

Ali Hepher believes his Exeter Chiefs side face the ‘perfect test’ when Sale Sharks provide the opposition at a packed-out Sandy Park tomorrow (3pm). With just two rounds of the scheduled Aviva Premiership season remaining, the defending champions already know they will have home advantage when the play-offs kick into action midway through next month. However, the chance to top the table – for the first time – after 22 rounds, plus the intense battle for a place within the first team ranks means the Chiefs are fully focused on the task ahead. The Sharks, meanwhile, will arrived in Devon...

Male grassroots teams given retention boost by new £1m FA funding scheme

Eight races at Exeter's penultimate meeting of the season

Eight races at Exeter’s penultimate meeting of the season today begin with the first division of the 188Bet Handicap Hurdle where Victor Dartnall’s good run of form could continue with Ambion Lane.

The well bred eight-year-old has pulled up on his last three starts but drying ground could see a turnaround in his fortunes, with the Jeremy Scott-trained Gonnabegood also likely to benefit from better going, while the Laura Young-trained Admiral Blake was running a big race at Taunton last month until falling two from home. If he’s not the worse for that, and reproduces that same form...
