Chiefs defeated by London Wasps

London Wasps 19 Exeter Chiefs 16

Exeter’s Henry Slade may well be one of English’s rugby gems of the future, but today it was the wise old man Andy Goode who proved the ‘King of Adams Park’ as he settled an enthralling Aviva Premiership encounter.

With the final kick of the game, the experienced No.10 dispatched a sublime 40-metre drop-goal to condemn Rob Baxter’s visiting Chiefs to a sixth league defeat of the season.

Mocked by the home faithful during a patchy first half from the former England international, Goode duly answered his critics in style after the...

Exeter City Korfball Club top of both divisions of the South West league

Exeter City korfball club finished 2013 at the top of divisions one and two of the South West league.

Both of the club's league teams have beaten competitive opposition from as far afield as Gloucester and Bristol. Exeter coach, Rob King, said "This is an exciting time for us as we look to secure league wins and promotion positions later in the season." This has all been achieved with the club expanding, training many new recruits, and forming a non-league third team to accommodate new players.

Club chairman James Hardy commented: "A central part of the...

Exeter City Dominate but fail to score

Report: Exeter City 0 Mansfield 1

Exeter City lost a pulsating clash 1-0 to Mansfield Town, as the wait for a win at St James Park continues.

But the scoreline does little to depict the true story of the game as City threw everything at their opponents and will feel aggrieved not to have taken anything from a game in which they greatly dominated in great swathes and hit the post three times.

After taking the lead on the stroke of half-time, through Lee Stevenson, Mansfield were subject to a second half onslaught of pressure as Exeter pressed and pressed to score. It...

Exeter City match looks good to go!

As of 9.30am on Saturday morning, the St James Park pitch is in good condition and clear of surface water, and the match against Mansfield looks set to go ahead as planned.

The ground staff are continuing to work hard to ensure that the pitch maintains its condition until 3pm, but presently there are no major concerns over the likelihood of the fixture going ahead.

So come down to SJP for the 3pm kick-off and belatedly cheer the Grecians into the New Year! And as always, stay safe in the wet weather.

Chiefs side to face London Wasps

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is confident he will see a response from his side when they return to Aviva Premiership action this Sunday at London Wasps (3pm).

Just a week after going down 22-6 to Harlequins in Big Game 6 at a packed Twickenham Stadium, Devon's finest will again be hitting the road in pursuit of vital league points.

Last weekend's loss in the capital saw the Chiefs slip to sixth in the current standings, a place above this weekend's hosts who themselves warmed up for this encounter with a hard fought 17-12 success at Newcastle Falcons.

Johnson's joy at new deal

Tom Johnson will extend his Exeter Chiefs career into a tenth year after he today put pen to paper on a new three-year deal with the Aviva Premiership club. With his current contract set to expire at the end of the season, Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has wasted little time in tying down the future of the England international. Signed in 2007 from then National League One counterparts Coventry, the 31-year-old forward has since gone on to establish as an integral part of the Exeter squad in recent years, amassing 168 appearances in total and scoring 27 tries. Johnson’s decision to prolong...

Welch content to stay a Chief

Damian Welch said his decision to stay with Exeter Chiefs was effectively a “no-brainer” after he today sealed a new two-year deal at the Aviva Premiership club. Signed ahead of the 2011/12 season from Welsh region Scarlets, the 31-year-old has settled well to life in the Westcountry and has installed himself as a senior figure within Rob Baxter’s first-team squad. With 30 appearances and six tries already to his name, Welch is determined to build on what has been a solid start to life at Sandy Park for the towering second-row forward. “I’ve loved being here since I got here,” he said. “It...
