Saint and Sinners bidding for British titles

Exeter’s top skittles teams are preparing to do battle in the forthcoming Briitish championships. And there’s a lot at stake.

The ladies team the Sinners won the trophy in 2008, again in2011 and were runners up in 2009, a track record they don’t let the Saints men’s team forget, according to the team Captain Dave Rowe.

Dave, whose teams play out of St Thomas Social Club has a theory about why the men just don’t cut the mustard.

“We always win our matches if we start off on the alleys in the balcony area," he explained.

"But once we have to play on...

Worcester Warriors 33 Exeter Chiefs 38

Games between Worcester Warriors and Exeter Chiefs at Sixways should now come with a Government health warning, such is the heart-stopping ways these games tend to end.

Two seasons ago the Chiefs celebrated qualifying for Heineken Cup rugby when they scored two tries in a dramatic final few minutes.

Last year – in a case of history seemingly repeating itself – Rob Baxter’s side nabbed another last-gasp success thanks to a touchdown from Aussie star Dean Mumm.

This time round, the Chiefs maintained their 100 per cent...

Chiefs side to face Warriors

Refreshed and revived after a much-needed week off, Exeter Chiefs will be looking to rekindle their European aspirations against lowly Worcester Warriors in tomorrow's Aviva Premiership encounter at Sixways (3pm).

Having slipped to ninth place with just four games remaining, Rob Baxter's side know they need to get a shift on during the final run-in if they are to stand any chance of competing in the new-look European Rugby Champions Cup next season.

With details of the fledgling competition finally confirmed this week, a top six finish would certainly guarantee Devon's...

Chiefs announce arrival of Lees

Baxter expects big impact from Lees

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter admits he and his coaches are looking forward to unlocking the raw potential of new signing Mitch Lees next season.

Baxter today added the imposing 25-year-old Australian to his playing ranks on a two-year deal from Championship club London Welsh - and he feels the versatile Lees will offer a significant presence within the Exeter pack.

Equally at home in either the second or back-row, Lees follows internationals Moray Low and Thomas Waldrom, as well as Tomas Francis in signing onto the Chiefs ahead of the 2014/15 campaign.

Never before has Exeter School played rugby in April but after the appalling winter the U16 and U15 Devon Cup Finals were played on Wednesday (2 April) at Topsham Rugby Club.

Although it was Exeter School's hockey term, the teams trained for a fortnight leading up to the final and soon honed their rugby skills and fitness.

On the night, the U15 faced a formidable Coombeshead team to whom they had lost in the semi-finals last year. The game started at high tempo and it was clear to see it would be an extremely physical encounter.

Despite being camped in the...
