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

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...

Baxter proud despite defeat

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter admitted he was proud of his side’s performance despite slipping to a 34-27 defeat away to Bordeaux-Begles.

In an absorbing Championship Cup contest – which saw eight tries scored – the Chiefs were ultimately undone late in the game by a converted try from replacement Marco T auleigne. Until that point, the Chiefs – who made 13 changes to their line-up that had defeated Gloucester seven days earlier – more than held their own against their French rivals, who collected earlier tries through Adam Ashley-Cooper, Blair Connor, Louis-Benoit Madaule...

THREE FIRST-HALF goals from Exeter City secured a victory at the Matchroom Stadium as the Grecians returned to winning ways in Sky Bet League 2.

Bordeaux-Begles 34 Chiefs 27: Match report

It’s not quite over, but Exeter’s hopes of advancing in this season’s Champions Cup are hanging by a thread after defeat away to Bordeaux-Begles.

Like two prize fighters battling away in the ring, the rivalling teams traded countless blows before the Englishmen were finally floored by Marco Tauleigne’s converted try ten minutes from time.

His late touchdown was the last of eight tries scored at the Stade Chaban Delmas and means Rob Baxter’s Chiefs side now need somewhat of a miracle to advance into the quarter-finals....
