Exeter Chiefs side to face Saracens

Ricky Pellow believes victory for Exeter Chiefs in this weekend’s LV= Cup Final would eclipse the efforts of last season when the Devon club lifted the trophy for the first time.

Twelve months ago the Chiefs made the most of home territory and a bumper Sandy Park following to overcome rivals Northampton Saints 15-8.

On Sunday, the defending champions will take to the field at Franklin’s Gardens (3pm) looking not only to overcome fellow finalists Saracens, but at the same time become the first-ever club to win the Anglo-Welsh crown back-to-back.

It’s another tall...

At Twickenham, six-year-old Harry Westlake sang the National Anthem and inspired a Nation. Now the Plymouth youngster finds out about the true power of support and what it’s really like to ‘wear the rose’ from his giant England Rugby heroes.

Plenty of action but no goals

Match report: Exeter City 0 Stevenage 0

Neither Exeter City nor Stevenage were able to make a breakthrough in an hour and a half of play at St James Park, as the meeting ended 0-0.

Chances came and went at either end – and City substitute David Wheeler even hit the bar with a towering header midway through the second period for the hosts.

But ultimately the game ended without either goalkeeper needing to make a visit to the back of the net on Tuesday evening.

City manager Paul Tisdale named an unchanged starting XI for the Grecians’ fixture after the weekend...

Exeter City win in home thriller

Match report: Exeter City 3 Wimbledon 2

Exeter City reached the 50-point mark for the season with a thrilling 3-2 win over AFC Wimbledon.

In a game that had it all, Bayo Akinfenwa handed the visitors a very early lead with a fine finish just four minutes in, and despite plenty of efforts on target for City, the biggest incident of the remainder of the half was the dismissal of Wimbledon’s Dannie Bulman for a two-footed challenge on Connor Riley-Lowe.

Tom Nichols levelled after the interval with a composed finish into the corner, and the striker got a second of the...
