Pete Trego back at the County Ground after New Zealand injury

Somerset all-rounder Pete Trego is back at the County Ground training hard following his early return from New Zealand with a side strain.

“I picked up a side strain out in New Zealand which was a bit of a setback so now I have got six to eight weeks back here working to get ready for the new season,” Trego explained.

“It’s now three weeks since it happened and I haven’t been able to do a great deal so I...

RockSolid fever gripping the South West and beyond

With RockSolidRace’s inaugural event only two months away, obstacle racing is becoming the hot topic of conversation. The event, being held on 16th March, offers a challenge like no other seen in the South West.

We’re talking about the choice of a 5k or 10k obstacle course that includes scaling 8 ft walls, crawling through mud under barbed wire and plenty of water based obstacles - it’s certainly not a course for the faint-hearted! That, however, doesn’t seem to be putting people off as they’re signing up in their droves.

Demand for the event has already surpassed initial...

A New Year begins in earnest for the Exeter Chiefs tomorrow and assistant coach Ali Hepher is hopeful his side will get 2013 off to a bang by seeing off visiting Northampton Saints at Sandy Park (3pm).

After a Christmas period which could - and probably should - have brought a sackful of points from clashes with Gloucester and Bath, the Devon club ended up more with leftovers, rather than the rewards their hard-working efforts merited.

The boot of England international Freddie Burns ultimately denied the Chiefs in a ding-dong battle at Kingsholm, before a late...
