From St James Park to the Euros: Tracking Exeter City Academy Players on the International Stage

As Europe’s biggest stars regroup for international duty, national team rosters for Euro 2024 are filled with familiar names - few of which trace their beginnings to the lower tiers of English football.

The Devon club surrendered top spot in the table after being undone 36-18 by the defending champions at Allianz Park.

Saracens prove too strong for Chiefs

Saracens regained pole position in the race for the Aviva Premiership end of season play-offs by sinking visiting Exeter Chiefs with a five-try salvo at Allianz Park.

The defending champions – swelled by the return of their England contingent following recent Grand Slam heroics – hit top gear to swot aside the attentions of Rob Baxter’s side, who for the first time this season ended a league game without any reward.

Fly-half Owen Farrell led the way for the home side, helping himself to a 14-point haul, whilst also on the mark were Red Rose colleagues Alex Goode and Billy...

Grecians held by the Bees

JAYDEN STOCKLEY'S eighth goal in the red and white was cancelled out by a Curtis Weston header as Exeter City drew 1-1 with Barnet at St James Park.

A goal apiece meant that the two sides began the second-half on level terms, and despite the best efforts of both sets of players the result would ultimately remain that way, with Bobby Olejnik’s penalty save from John Akinde in the sixty-fourth minute proving valuable for the home side.

Paul Tisdale named an unchanged starting eleven for the fourth game running as City looked to follow up their 4-1 victory over Notts County...

Rob Baxter knows his table-topping Exeter Chiefs side are there to be shot at by those chasing similar play-off aspirations in this season’s Aviva Premiership, but it’s a challenge he and his team are clearly relishing with just a handful of games remaining in the scheduled programme.

The Devon club leapfrogged tomorrow’s hosts Saracens to the summit courtesy of last weekend’s 20-12 victory over Northampton Saints and their credentials will be put firmly to the test this weekend by the defending champions, who will be swelled by the return of all of their Six Nations stars....

Long-serving prop Ben Moon says Exeter Chiefs can ill afford to get caught up in the emotion of things as they prepare to face Saracens in tomorrow’s top of the table clash in the Aviva Premiership.

The Devonians will head to Allianz Park in buoyant mood having leapfrogged the defending champions into top spot following their 20-12 victory at home to Northampton Saints last Sunday.

That success, coupled with Sarries going down at Leicester Tigers the same day, meant Rob Baxter’s side moved to the summit of the table for the first time this season.

And with just a...
