Exeter City manager reflects on a goalless draw in Mansfield

Following a goalless draw against Mansfield Town, Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale gave his verdict of the meeting.

While there was nothing lacking in effort and desire from the City players, Paul left Field Mill feeling as though the team were sometimes trying to strike before the iron was hot. The Grecians played with plenty of vigour but decisions weren’t given enough consideration and saw the play break down before a clear-cut chance was forged.

“I think we’ll travel back on the coach thinking that it’s a good point and a clean sheet away from home, and I’m sure we’ll...

Bicton waters ahead of horse trials where top riders are set to compete

Professional event rider Helen West, who recently took over the management of equestrian venue Bicton Arena in East Devon, has said measures have been taken to ensure the going is safe at its British Eventing competition (August 17 – 18).

The long, dry hot spell has resulted in hard ground across the UK, but water will be added to all the courses during the week prior to the event and it will also be aggravated.

Helen said: “As an event rider myself, I know how important it is that the ground is safe for horses to run on and in light of that we will be pulling out all the...

Graham move imminent, says Rob Baxter

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter says the Aviva Premiership club are edging ever closer to securing a deal to bring New Zealander Romana Graham to Sandy Park.

Baxter says he has been forced to bolster his options in the second row ahead of the new campaign as Tom Hayes is still working on his rehabilitation from back surgery and James Hanks is set to miss the start of the season after breaking his collarbone during the early weeks of pre-season.

It's those issues that have made the Exeter coach turn to the 27-year-old Maori, who has been part of the Kiwi-based Chiefs for...

Mumm named new Chiefs Captain

Australian Dean Mumm admits he is "honoured" to have been named the new Exeter Chiefs captain for the 2013/14 season.

Head coach Rob Baxter confirmed today that the 29-year-old, who joined the Devon club last season from Aussie Super 15 outfit Waratahs, will take over the duties from fellow forward Tom Hayes.

Irishman Hayes has been skipper of the Chiefs for all three seasons in English rugby's top flight - and he was also the man who led Exeter to the Championship title in 2010 when they overcame Bristol at the Memorial Stadium.

Mumm admits it is quite a task to...

City huff and puff but can't blow Rangers' defence down

Report: Exeter City 0 QPR 2

Exeter City fell to a 2-0 home defeat against Championship outfit Queens Park Rangers in the first round of the Capital One Cup.

The game got off to an unfortunate start for Exeter, when Jermaine Jenas saw his shot deflected in by Charlie Austin in the second minute.

Danny Simpson, another summer signing for the Hoops, doubled the lead for Rangers with a smart run up the wing from the right-back position.

For all City’s huffing and puffing – and going close to reducing the arrears – it was the visitors that secured passage to the...

Whitehead "excited" ahead of new season

Chris Whitehead has said that the players at Exeter Chiefs are ‘genuinely excited’ about the start of the new Aviva Premiership season.

The squad have been working their way through a rigorous training and conditioning campaign during the past few weeks as the start of pre-season matches begin later this month when the Chiefs travel to RaboDirect Pro12 side Scarlets on August 17 (3pm). It has been a busy summer for the talented hooker, who got married in the off-season, but now he is raring to go as Exeter look to improve on another excellent season where they finished sixth-place...

Vainikolo arrives at the Chiefs

New Exeter Chiefs winger Fetu’u Vainikolo has spoken of his excitement after he completed his move to the Aviva Premiership club on a two-year-deal.

The Tongan international, who moves to Sandy Park from Irish club Connacht, has said that Exeter Chiefs’ style of play was a main factor for joining and that he cannot wait to get started. “I’m really excited and looking forward to it,” said the 28-year-old. “It’s always good to get a new experience and I’m really looking forward to the challenge. “Exeter’s type of game play really suits me as a rugby player, it’s the type of rugby I...

City manager says Grecians have "nothing to lose" in cup tie against QPR

Exeter City boss Paul Tisdale has expressed excitement ahead of tonight's Capital One Cup first round tie against Queens Park Rangers.

The Grecians have arguably been dealt the toughest hand available, as visitors QPR are the only club that were playing Premier League football last season to be in the first round draw. But for Tis, all the pressure lies with the Hoops while his team can try to cause a cup upset – like they almost did against Ipswich and Crystal Palace in recent years.

“It’s a terrific game to play in and we’ve got nothing to lose,” said Paul. “Saturday was...
