Central United Under 11's Earn all 3 points

In the Exeter & District youth league under 11’s division two Central United showed real grit and determination to beat a physical Kentisbeare team 2-1 on Saturday. The first half saw some very nice football despite the boggy pitch and Central United took a deserved lead through a well worked goal by Andrew Lapworth. Francis Blewett was a constant threat down the right hand side and went close on several occasions before finding the back of the net to give the United boys a 2-0 lead, which was preserved until half time due to some superb goal keeping by Ollie Banwell.

Preview: Cheltenham v Exeter City

To describe Cheltenham Town as Exeter City’s ‘bogey team’ would be selling it a little short.

The clubs have only met eight times throughout their history – mostly owing to the Robins only becoming a Football League club for the first time in 1999 – but Cheltenham have won every single fixture.

The first meeting came on Boxing Day in 1999, when a goal midway through the second period by Jon Gittens was scant consolation, as the hosts had raced to a three-goal lead at Whaddon Road before half-time.

The Grecians have scored...

Moon says Chiefs are lifted by Falcons win

Prop Ben Moon says last Saturday's 16-3 victory over Newcastle Falcons has given the Exeter Chiefs the ideal lift heading into this weekend's crunch Aviva Premiership encounter with Harlequins.

After a run of five successive league and cup defeats, the Chiefs rediscovered their winning touch thanks to a Haydn Thomas try and 11 points from the boot of leading points-scorer Gareth Steenson.

The victory - Exeter's sixth in the top flight this season - helped Rob Baxter's side rise to fifth in the standings, just a point adrift of Harlequins, who provide the latest hurdle for...

Steenson set for big game test

Irish fly-half Gareth Steenson admitted it was important for the Exeter Chiefs to rediscover their winning formula ahead of what is a crucial festive period for the club in the Aviva Premiership.

Winless in their five previous fixtures heading into last weekend, Rob Baxter's side not only defied the atrocious wintry conditions at Sandy Park, but also visiting Newcastle Falcons, to record their sixth victory in the top flight this term.

Steenson - back in the Chiefs line-up having missed the previous week's Heineken Cup fixture with RC Toulon due to a shoulder injury -...

Chiefs defeat Falcons

Exeter Chiefs 16 Newcastle Falcons 9

Exeter Chiefs have played better this season and lost, yet this return to winning ways against Newcastle Falcons was not only welcome, but provided Rob Baxter and his team with the ideal lift ahead of the Christmas period.

Back amongst the Aviva Premiership’s top five, the Chiefs not only overcame the horrid Westcountry weather, but also a stubborn Falcons side to record their sixth league win of the season.

Eleven points from the boot of master marksman Gareth Steenson, together with a try from half-back partner Haydn Thomas,...

Report: Exeter City 0 Chesterfield 2

The Grecians slipped to a 2-0 defeat at St James at the hands of Chesterfield, as the visitors went to the top of the Sky Bet League 2 table.

The scoring was opened by Ollie Banks mere minutes after the restart after the break, as the midfielder – who had been announced as League 2 Player of the Month earlier in the day – headed in Callum McFadzean’s corner.

Banks turned provider for the Spireites’ second midway through the second half as he slotted in Marc Richards who stepped round a defender and slotted in.

Following two goals against Accrington, 20-year...

Chiefs side to face Falcons

Having spent the past fortnight going toe-to-toe with reigning European champions RC Toulon in the Heineken Cup, it's back to the blood and thunder of the Aviva Premiership this weekend for the Exeter Chiefs, who tomorrow welcome Newcastle Falcons to Sandy Park (3pm).

After a punishing run of fixtures, both domestically and in Europe, the Chiefs will be looking not only to address a five-game losing streak, but at the same time deliver an early Christmas present to their supporters in the final home game of 2013.

Despite recent setbacks, assistant coach Ali Hepher insists...

Exeter City are at home TONIGHT for Friday Night Football

Friday-night footie returns to St James Park, as does the chance to get right back in the mix for the promotion places for Exeter City.

After a frustrating few weeks, results have finally started to pick up again with draws from trailing positions against Wycombe and Bury and a win at Accrington – and victory at home against Chesterfield, second in League 2, would certainly give a fresh wave of optimism too.

The Spireites hit their own rough patch in October – after dropping just two points in their opening eight games, Chesterfield suddenly couldn’t buy a win in the next...

Mumm signs new deal at Chiefs

Dean Mumm has admitted it was an “easy decision” to extend his stay with Exeter Chiefs for a further two years.

Signed from the NSW Waratahs ahead of the 2011/12 season, the vastly experienced Australian international has proven an instant hit at Sandy Park, both on and off the field.

His eye-catching displays, together with his try-scoring abilities and on-field leadership skills were not only a key facet of his first year in Devon, but also this term where he has led from the front since being awarded the captaincy by head coach Rob Baxter.

With his initial...

And it's a bold statement of intent from Baxter that the Chiefs are clearly determined to ensure they keep hold of their prized assets.
