Prop Moray Low believes Exeter Chiefs’ recent cup exploits have given the club the perfect lift as they prepare to head back into Aviva Premiership action this Friday.

Three victories in four games have helped to put Rob Baxter’s side not only top of their European Challenge Cup pool, but also at the summit of their LV= Cup group as well following back-to-back successes against rivals Gloucester and Bath.

It has - according to Scottish international Low - been a profitable four weeks for the Chiefs, who know they will face an acid test next up against defending league...

The Devon Autumn Ability Games (DAAG) take place on Wednesday 12 November, at the Tarka Tennis Centre in Barnstaple and will provide the opportunity for young disabled people from schools throughout Devon to participate in competitions spanning five different sports.

The event is part of the Sainsbury’s School Games and over 350 participants are set to take part in a variety of different competitions and taster sports. The young people from local schools and colleges will also be crucial in organising the event on the day as over 70 of them have been recruited as Games Maker style...

Exeter Chiefs 18 Bath Rugby 6

Having taken an age to claim their first victory over Bath in the professional era last season, Exeter Chiefs made it back-to-back successes against their arch rivals as they maintained their unbeaten start to this season’s LV= Cup campaign.

It was back in March – at the 12th time of asking – that Rob Baxter’s side finally banished their Bath bogey when they claimed a 22-19 semi-final victory at the Recreation Ground.

Not only did the result ensure the Devon club booked a home final – which they would win a week later for their first piece of major silverware – but it...

Exeter City crash out of FA Cup

Match report: Warrington 1 Exeter City 0

Exeter City finished on the wrong side of a famous FA Cup upset as Warrington Town earned a place in the second round of the FA Cup at Cantilever Park with a 1-0 win.

It was a header from a corner by Craig Robinson that was inadvertently turned in by Graham Cummins which was the difference on the scoreboard at the final whistle, and gave the Evo-Stik NPL Division One North team a place in the hat.

Liam Sercombe and David Noble came in for Jimmy Keohane and Arron Davies in the two changes Paul Tisdale made to the line-up which...

Exeter Chiefs side to face Bath

Backs coach Ali Hepher is expecting a much-improved display from his Exeter Chiefs side as they continue the defence of their LV= Cup crown against arch rivals Bath Rugby tomorrow (4.30pm).

Last season’s champions kicked-off their campaign a week ago by claiming a narrow 28-27 victory over Gloucester at Sandy Park, but it could easily have been different had visiting fly-half Aled Thomas not failed with a last minute penalty chance.

As It was, Thomas’ long-range effort cannoned back off the posts and the Chiefs were able to toast a winning start against the Cherry &...

White targets Bath scalp

Ben White is hoping Exeter Chiefs can maintain their impressive home record this season by adding the name of Bath Rugby to those who have come unstuck at Sandy Park.

With the exception of Leicester Tigers, who edged a narrow encounter in Devon back in September, the Chiefs have seen off all before them on home soil, including the likes of Harlequins, London Irish, Connacht and, more recently, Gloucester in the LV= Cup.

Aussie forward White recognises having a solid home base will be a key feature for the Chiefs this season and says another victory this Saturday will help...

Newcomer excited to be at Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs newcomer Byron McGuigan says he is “excited” by the challenges that lie ahead after he today confirmed his move to the Aviva Premiership club.

The 25-year-old, who has previously played for Border Bulldogs, Glasgow Warriors and, more recently, Bay of Plenty in New Zealand’s ITM Cup, has agreed a short-term contract with the Chiefs until the end of the current campaign.

McGuigan is the latest addition to the playing ranks at Sandy Park after head coach Rob Baxter previously indicated he was keen to bolster his options, particularly in the back three.

Exeter City draw against league leaders Luton

Match report: Exeter City 1 Luton Town 1

Exeter City came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against top-of-the-league Luton Town at St James Park.

It was no less than Exeter deserved from a performance which saw the home side control a bulk of the possession and create most of the chances, but it was always going to need a gutsy performance as the Hatters took an early lead.

It was Scott Griffiths that rose highest after just three minutes to head in a corner, leaving Exeter trailing at the break.

But with 20 minutes to play, Tom Nichols got Exeter on terms...
