Cup woe for battling Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs 12 Leicester Tigers 16 In the week of the world famous Cheltenham Festival, Exeter Chiefs came a cropper in the final furlong as Leicester Tigers took the honours in this season’s Anglo-Welsh Cup.

Despite a spirited second half showing from Ricky Pellow’s side, they left themselves too much to do against English rugby’s most decorated club.

The Tigers lifted the Anglo-Welsh prize for the third time thanks to a first half try from winger Tom Brady and the boot of prized fly-half Freddie Burns.

The Chiefs countered with a first half try from winger James...

Luton Town 1 Exeter City 1

Exeter City stayed in the play-off places as they picked up a well-earned point at Luton Town.

The Grecians had opened the scoring midway through the half with a well-worked move that was finished off by Jake Taylor, but Danny Hylton levelled the scores with a close-range header. In truth, it was a backs-to-walls display, at times, for City as they defended superbly but they had moments of quality on the break and had the visitors made more of the few chances they created at the start of the second half they could have come away with all three points.

City manager Paul...

Chiefs side to face Tigers

Ricky Pellow has told his Exeter Chiefs side to go and “finish the job” as they prepare to face rivals Leicester Tigers in the Anglo-Welsh Cup Final at the Twickenham Stoop on Sunday (3pm).

Having booked their place in the first showpiece event of the season with a 24-7 victory over Harlequins a week ago, now the Chiefs must look to replicate that winning formula against English rugby’s most decorated club side.

The Tigers, who themselves won at defending champions Saracens, pose the final threat to Pellow and his Chiefs, who will be participating in their third successive...

Freeman's chance to shine

James Freeman hopes to follow the lead of others within the Exeter Chiefs and make his mark in the Aviva Premiership next season.

In recent years the Chiefs head coach has brought in the likes of Harry Williams, Elvis Taione, Shaun Malton, Mitch Lees and Tomas Francis from Championship clubs and all of them have gone on to make their mark with the...

Stage set for Atkins and Chiefs to deliver

Ollie Atkins believes he and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates have been given the perfect stage on which to shine ahead of Sunday's Anglo-Welsh Cup Final against Leicester Tigers at the Twickenham Stoop (3pm).

The Australian lock helped lead from the front as the Chiefs secured a third successive final appearance thanks to Sunday's 24-7 home win over Harlequins.

Tries from Lachie Turner, Max Bodilly, Julian Salvi and Sam Simmonds did much of the damage for the Devon club, whose remaining points came courtesy of the boot of young fly-half Joe Simmonds.
