Holmes strike earns City a battling point away at Mansfield Town

Mansfield Town 1 Exeter City 1

A strike from Lee Holmes three minutes from time earned Exeter City a battling point away at Mansfield Town.

The Grecians had fallen behind to Kane Hemmings first-half strike and needed a couple of goalline clearances from Dean Moxey to stay in the game before Mansfield-born Holmes struck late.

City were forced into one change from the side that lost to Port Vale last time out as Pierce Sweeney was ruled out through food poisoning.

That saw West Bromwich Albion loanee Kane Wilson given his first league start for the club....

Chiefs grind out a win against Sale

Don’t expect this to be top of the pile in terms of the highlights reel, but Exeter Chiefs secured a vital, hard-fought away win to send them back to the top of the Aviva Premiership.

Just how long Rob Baxter’s side remain in pole position will be decided come the end of the weekend, but for now the defending champions are once more proving their credentials.

Five days after winning in the sunshine of the South of France, now the Chiefs were claiming equally precious reward on a cold and crisp night in the North West.

City narrowly beaten in League Two

Exeter City were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Port Vale at St James Park in Sky Bet League Two.

Tom Pope's first-half goal gave Vale all three points, and despite City's best efforts to get back into the match, they were unable to find the net.

The Grecians made three changes to the side that were beaten by Luton Town in midweek, as Jordan-Moore-Taylor and Hiram Boateng returned from injury and Kyle Edwards also came into the team with Craig Woodman, Jordan Tillson and Lee Holmes all replaced.

The away side created the first opportunity of the match on five minutes as Ben...

Jack Yeandle says he and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates will need to “rise to the challenge” when they tackle Montpellier in Sunday’s European Champions Cup fixture.

Having kicked off their campaign with a 24-15 victory over Glasgow Warriors last Saturday, the Chiefs will now make their way across the English Channel for an equally testing assignment against the star-studded French outfit at the Altrad Stadium (2pm).

Unlike the Chiefs, Montpellier suffered defeat in their opening fixture, going down 24-17 at Leinster, but they did manage to claim an all-important losing bonus...

Grecians slip to defeat at St James Park

Exeter City slipped to a 4-1 defeat at home to Luton Town at St James Park in Sky Bet League Two.Goals from James Collins, Dan Potts, Danny Hylton and Harry Cornick did the damage for the visitors who were ruthless as they struck three quick-fire goals just after half-time when the scores were level at 1-1, after Jake Taylor levelled the match with an excellent finish.

The Grecians, who had access for the first time to the new changing room facilities in the IP Office stand, made one change from the side that earned a hard-fought point away to Wycombe Wanderers last weekend, as the...
