Chiefs crush Quins

Rob Baxter’s calls for Exeter Chiefs to re-establish their Sandy Park fortress were well and truly answered as his side swot aside the attentions of visiting Harlequins.

Having only won two of their last nine league games on their own turf and just seven out of 17 matches in all competitions in the last 12 months, the Chiefs could not have picked a better time to rediscover the winning formula.

From start to finish, Baxter’s braves had too much for their rivals.

Thomas Waldrom, Jack Yeandle and Henry Slade all crossed for tries, whilst the boots of Slade and Gareth...

City make it three in a row

Match report: Exeter City 2 Bury 1

Exeter City overturned league leaders Bury at St James Park, recording a 2-1 win to make it three wins on the bounce.

An early Matt Grimes free-kick had Exeter off to a flyer, but Tom Soares’ rocket after an hour had the teams all square.

But a close-range effort from substitute Jimmy Keohane with less than ten minutes remaining was the difference at the end, giving Exeter City’s hard-working side a well-earned three points at the Park.

Craig Woodman’s injury kept him out of the matchday squad for the meeting with Bury,...

Chiefs team to face Harlequins

Exeter Chiefs welcome back Jack Nowell and Phil Dollman into their starting line-up for Sunday’s Aviva Premiership clash with Harlequins at Sandy Park (2pm).

Both Nowell and Dollman appeared off the bench in last week’s 25-22 win at Gloucester, but head coach Rob Baxter is keen to see the duo in action from the outset as the Chiefs look to record a third win in four starts this season.

England international Nowell has not started a league game since he injured a shoulder during Exeter’s defeat at Leicester Tigers last March, while Dollman has also had to sit on the...

Will Chudley says it’s vital Exeter Chiefs look to make the most of their encouraging start to the new Aviva Premiership season when they play host to Harlequins on Sunday (2pm).

The Chiefs have already secured away wins at London Welsh and Gloucester, whilst a star-studded Leicester Tigers were pushed all the way in their opening home game of the season before the Midlanders nabbed a narrow 25-22 victory.

Chudley knows all too well the Chiefs will need to be at their best if they are to maintain their position amongst the division’s frontrunners, but he says confidence is...

Match preview: Exeter City v Bury

Exeter City arrive back at St James Park in a rich vein of form, with a draw and two wins – and seven points – from the past three games.

But few teams are quite as in-form as Bury. Undefeated since the opening weekend in League 2, the Shakers took all three points in their three most recent fixtures – leapfrogging their rivals Burton Albion last weekend with a win against the Brewers and going top of the pile.

Former Grecian Daniel Nardiello was twice a goalscorer in that game at Gigg Lane after coming off the bench – indeed Bury’s potent attack has been a telling factor...

Phibbs agrees short-term deal

Australian Pat Phibbs has today agreed a short-term deal to stay with the Exeter Chiefs.

With Dave Lewis currently sidelined with an elbow injury and fellow scrum-half Haydn Thomas having taken a bang to the head in last Friday's win at Gloucester, Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is keen to ensure he has sufficient cover in the half-back role.

Phibbs - who is in his second spell with the Devon club - initially joined a few weeks ago on trial, but his efforts in both training and for the Braves in the Aviva Premiership A League have clearly impressed Baxter to reward the 32-...

Exeter Chiefs fly-half Gareth Steenson insists he and his team-mates still have plenty to work on despite their solid start to the new Aviva Premiership season.

Rob Baxter's side collected their second win in three starts this term on Friday night as Steenson led the way in a 25-22 victory over Gloucester at Kingsholm.

The Irish playmaker provided 14 points with the boot as Devon's finest won away to the Cherry & Whites for the third time in four seasons.

The hard-fought win momentarily lifted the Chiefs to the summit of the Premiership for the second time this...

Chiefs spoil neighbours' party

Exeter Chiefs notched up another away-day victory, this time against their near neighbours Gloucester.

Ben White’s first half try, coupled with the laser-guided boots of Gareth Steenson (pictured) and Henry Slade, proved just enough on the night for the Chiefs to sink hosts Gloucester at a packed Kingsholm.

The Cherry & Whites played their part in a thrilling encounter, claiming tries through Jonny May, Dan Murphy and Tom Palmer, but it was never enough even though James Hook did his best to set up a grandstand finale.

Narrowly undone 24-20 by the Tigers in...

Baxter's delight at Slade deal

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after Henry Slade this week put pen to paper on a new three-year deal with the Aviva Premiership.

Having already accrued the services of fellow young guns Jack Nowell, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Dave Ewers and Sam Hill until the summer of 2017, the 21-year-old playmaker has joined his colleagues in committing his future to the Sandy Park club.

It was - according to the Plymouth-born back - a simple decision to make and now he aims to kick on further and help the Chiefs to build for the future.

Slade was given his...
