Gow to stay at Rovers, will Richards be staying at City?

It was confirmed on the 8th February that Bristol Rovers had signed City's top scorer Alan Gow on loan for the rest of the season, in a loan swap deal that saw 22-year-old Eliot Richards switching the other way. At the time there was speculation that this was down to Exeter City's finances and that they couldn't afford to keep Gow, so they had to settle for the young Richards.

Both players contracts are up at the end of the season and the latest news from Bristol, despite the fact the Scot is now out injured until the end of the season, is that John Ward wants to...

Chiefs' Chris Whitehead Forced to Retire

Exeter Chiefs forward Chris Whitehead has spoken of his disappointment after it was confirmed this week that he will have to retire from professional rugby with immediate effect.

Part of the club's LV= Cup winning side of a fortnight ago, the 27-year-old hooker has heeded the words of top specialists regarding his degenerative neck problem and called time on his four-season spell at Sandy Park.

It's indeed a cruel and untimely blow for Whitehead, who has proved a popular figure on and off the field at the Chiefs.

Signed by head coach Rob Baxter during the summer of...

Preview - Plymouth Argyle v Exeter City

This time last season when these two sides met on the 30th March at Home Park it was the Green half of Devon who claimed the bragging rights after beating the Grecians by a goal to nil. At that time it was roles reversed in the league as City were in the play off pack and Argyle were amongst the relegation candidates. It is completely the opposite now as Exeter sit 17th and their neighbours in 9th.

The city faithful will go into this derby fixture buoyed by their teams battering of the Cod army (Fleetwood) 3-0 on Saturday. Even so,...

Baxter has few excuses after Tigers loss

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter offered few excuses after watching his side slip to a 45-15 defeat at Leicester Tigers in the Aviva Premiership.

A week after claiming their first major silverware in 143 years when they lifted the LV= Cup, the Chiefs were brought crashing back down to earth by a rampant Tigers side.

In a vintage display from the East Midlanders, they scored six tries in total through Logovi'i Mulipola, Niki Goneva, Adam Thompstone and David Mele (2) to keep themselves well in the play-off picture with just five rounds of the season remaining.

A week later they will again face opposition from the Rabo Prodirect12 when they head to Ravenhill for the first time to tackle Irish...

Exeter City climb up the table after 3 - 0 victory

Report: Exeter City 3 Fleetwood Town 0

Exeter City ended a winless run at home in emphatic style with a 3-0 win that was merited to a man against Fleetwood Town.

The Grecians were excellent throughout the 90 minutes and could have battered the Cod Army by a more telling scoreline in truth, but a standing ovation from the home faithful was well-deserved come the final whistle.

The scoring was opened when Danny Butterfield’s perfect free-kick found Jon Parkin, who turned into his own goal.

Eliot Richards struck twice in four minutes after the interval – the...
