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.

Exeter City’s academy may not make headlines, but its graduates are making tournament squads. And while attention builds toward summer fixtures and early Champions League predictions on many of the most popular and secure betting platforms, another narrative deserves recognition: players who started at St James Park and are now representing their countries on the international...

TBirds crowned Back to Netball regional champs

New team Teignmouth Thunderbirds (TBirds) Cougars were proud champions in the Regional Back to Netball Festival after a classy 6-2 win over runners up Swaggamamas on Sunday 24th January 2016.

TBirds made it eight wins out of eight in the Back to Netball Festival, organised by England Netball beating 15 teams from across the region to win the tournament at Paignton Sports Hub. It was an encouraging display from the new Back to Netball Club squad, who largely controlled proceedings.

After an even start against Quayside Netball Club, the TBirds began to dominate their 6 games...

Baxter's joy as Stevenson makes Exeter return

Rob Baxter admits the return of Lewis Stevenson to Sandy Park “ticks a lot of boxes” for him as Exeter Chiefs look to advance over the course of the season. With both Damian Welch (pec) and Mitch Lees (bicep) set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines following injuries sustained, Baxter has found his options in the Exeter engine room becoming somewhat stretched in recent weeks.

Keen to bolster his playing stock, the Chiefs head coach today spoke of his delight at capturing the 31-year-old forward, who made 62 appearances for Exeter during a two-year stay 2007 and 2009.

Exeter swimmers are Devon Champions

The first weekend of the Devon County Swimming Championships took place at the Plymouth Lifecentre on the 16th and 17th January and Exeter City Swimming Club brought a mountain of silverware and medals back to Exeter.

Team Captain Dominic Wooldridge led the way by winning the Championship finals and picking up two trophies in the 200 fly and the 400 freestyle. Dom also took 3rd place in the 200 IM. Closely followed by Aliyah Mai-Webb collecting the championship final trophy for the 200 IM and then reaching the Championship final in the 200 fly and the 200 b/k where she was second...

Stevenson heads back to the Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs have today welcomed back Irishman Lewis Stevenson to the Aviva Premiership club on a deal until the end of the season.

The 31-year-old forward, who spent two seasons at Sandy Park between 2007 and 2009, returns to the Westcountry from Guinness Pro 12 outfit Ulster Rugby.

With Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter keen to bolster his second row options following significant injuries to Damian Welch and Mitch Lees in recent weeks, the arrival of Stevenson could not be better timed as the Devon club look to push on both in the Premiership and European Champions Cup....

Chiefs reach Champions Cup quarter-finals

Exeter Chiefs 33 Ospreys 17: Match report.

And so the European adventure continues for Exeter Chiefs following an unbelievable final round of action in Pool Two of this season’s Champions Cup.

Seemingly with a mountain to climb ahead of kick-off, Rob Baxter’s side dug deep not only to see off the Ospreys with a five-try blast, but at the same time preserve their lengthy home record.

Exeter’s 33-17 victory will live long in the minds of those who packed into Sandy Park, whilst for those watching on TV at home, the viewing was equally compelling as they advanced to...

Chiefs side to face Ospreys

Advancing into the last eight of Europe may seem a tall order for the Exeter Chiefs, but head coach Rob Baxter is refusing to give up hope and wants his side to finish their Pool Two programme on a high against the Ospreys today (Sunday) at Sandy Park (3:15pm).

Last Saturday’s 34-27 reverse away to Bordeaux-Begles means the Chiefs need to accrue maximum reward against the Welsh region this weekend, whilst hope results elsewhere in France between Clermont-Auvergne and Bordeaux-Begles fall in the right direction for them.

Whatever the outcome, Baxter’s side will once again...

Exeter City win again!

In a frantic start to the game City had fallen behind after Shay McCartan’s third goal in a week. But the Grecians responded magnificently, equalising two minutes later through Tom Nichols’ twelfth goal of the season, before Ribeiro sealed the points, bundling home in the seventy-ninth minute.

City boss Paul Tisdale made six changes to the side that exited the Emirates FA Cup at Anfield last Wednesday, including a start for in-form striker Jayden Stockley who was making his first appearance for City at St James Park. Notable team news for the visitors was that eleven-goal top-...

Baxter poised to bolster Chiefs squad

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has admitted he is hoping to bolster his playing squad over the coming weeks as they brace themselves for a relentless run of fixtures in the Aviva Premiership.

With the Devon club somewhat hamstrung with a series of long-term injuries to a number of their key players, Baxter’s cause is set to be further hampered with the potential loss of others to call-ups in the upcoming Six Nations Championship.

Baxter has said the situation is far from ideal and it appears he’s now set to act, confirming in this week’s media briefing that he is...
