On the day when 35,000 runners took to the streets of London for the annual marathon, Exeter Chiefs showed little sign of fatigue as they produced arguably their best display of the season to keep alive their hopes of Heineken Cup rugby again next season.

Early goal puts pay to City's plans for promotion

Report: Exeter City 0 Cheltenham Town 1

Exeter City slipped to a 1-0 defeat at home to the hands of Cheltenham, ending the Grecians’ promotion bid for the 2012/13 campaign.

It was an early goal that ultimately undid City, as Russell Penn’s low effort on his left foot took a wild bobble beyond the reach of Artur Krysiak and found the corner.

City pushed on, but Bradford defeated Burton leaving the Grecians four points adrift of the Bantams in seventh with just a single game remaining.

Pat Baldwin had to miss out completely from the squad, meaning Jordan Moore...

With Bradford City losing at home to Rotherham United in midweek, Exeter City go into this weekend’s game against Cheltenham still in with a great shout of reaching the play-off spots.

Reid in Team of the Week

Youngster named in select XI on full debut

Exeter City youngster Jamie Reid was voted into the npower League 2 Team of the Week after a successful first start for the Grecians.

Reid was something of a surprise selection in the starting XI when Exeter travelled to Kingsmeadow to face AFC Wimbledon.

However he vindicated the trust of the backroom staff by turning in a mature performance, which was capped with two great goals to twice give the Grecians the lead.

Regrettably City were held to a draw, as the Dons levelled twice through Luke Moore – who was also...
