City move into play off places after victory over Rochdale

Exeter City exorcised the demons of last April by running out 3-2 winners against Rochdale at Spotland.

After an even opening encounter, quick-fire goals by Pat Baldwin and John O’Flynn suddenly put the Grecians in the driving seat. A second before the break for O’Flynn gave Exeter a three-goal cushion at half-time. Terry Gornell netted for the Dale midway through the second period to make things twitchy. Gornell then headed in a second on the stroke of 90 minutes, with the Grecians living dangerously. His afternoon came to an early end though when he was shown a straight red soon...

Chiefs claim maiden Heineken Cup victory over the Scarlets

The European escapades of the Exeter Chiefs hit new heights in Wales as Rob Baxter’s side claimed their maiden Heineken Cup victory against the Scarlets.

Full-time Score: Scarlets: 16 / Chiefs: 22.

Haydn Thomas’ early try, alongside a 17-point haul from fly-half Gareth Steenson, ensured another piece of history for the Devon club, who are clearly relishing dining at the top table with the elite of the European game.

The Scarlets countered with a penalty try and kicks from Rhys Priestland and Aled Thomas, but it was never enough in a hard-fought encounter at the Parc...

Chiefs side to face Scarlets in Heineken Cup

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes experiencing the full-on demands of the Heineken Cup is helping develop his squad into a much stronger unit.

Although the Chiefs have suffered back-to-back defeats at the hands of European heavyweights Leinster and Clermont Auvergne in their opening two Pool 5 fixtures, Baxter insists the Devon club remain upbeat as they prepare to tackle Welsh region Scarlets on successive weekends in Europe's premier cup competition....

Steeno is looking for Chiefs to take their first Heineken scalp

Gareth Steenson wants to use the momentum gained in recent weeks as the ideal springboard for Exeter Chiefs to record their first-ever success in the Heineken Cup this weekend, wriyes Mark Stevens.

Victorious in their last five competitive fixtures, the Devon club head to Wales on Saturday (1.35pm) looking to continue their winning streak against the Scarlets.

With both clubs yet to register a win in Europe’s top cup competition so far this season, the need to get up and running is clearly vital if they are to stand any chance of progressing past Pool 5 rivals Leinster and...

Steve Tully calls on fans to support the girls

St James’ Park will be hosting the Exeter City Ladies’ FA Women’s Cup first round proper tie against Brislington on Sunday 9th December with kick-off set for 1pm.

This fixture offers the Grecian girls the chance to progress to the second round for the first time in their history.

They reached the first round last season, only to be defeated away at Swindon. But they have been drawn at home to Somerset County Division One side Brislington – and rather than playing at their usual home in Topsham, the Exeter Ladies have the chance to showcase the women’s game at St James’ Park...

City's Gosling is still in the Magpies pecking order

Exeter City youngster Jake Gosling has had his loan spell with Dorchester Town extended until Saturday 5th January 2013.

The 19-year-old originally joined the Blue Square Bet South side on an initial one-month loan deal at the beginning of September. The deal was extended at the beginning of last month, just in time for him to feature in the FA Cup fixture against Plymouth Argyle, where he scored the game’s only goal.

His cup run with the Magpies was ended by a 2-1 loss at Luton Town yesterday, but another month with the Dorset side gives the striker another nine...

Chiefs aim to keep winning streak going says Arscott

Exeter Chiefs maybe set for a two-week break from the Aviva Premiership, but full-back Luke Arscott insists he and his team-mates have no intention of letting their winning streak fall by the wayside.

Saturday’s 30-23 home win over London Wasps not only ensured the Chiefs remained within the top six in the current Premiership standings, but it extended their winning streak to five games in all competitions.

With back-to-back encounters against the Scarlets in the Heineken Cup next up...

Baxter says the best is yet to come from Exeter Chiefs

Head coach Rob Baxter was happy to salute his side’s latest Aviva Premiership victory over London Wasps, but he still believes his Exeter Chiefs side have yet to hit top form this season, writes Mark Stevens.

The Chiefs maintained their unbeaten home record in the top flight as they overcame Wasps 30-23 at Sandy Park thanks to tries from Chris Whitehead, Haydn Thomas and Phil Dollman, as well as 15 points from the boot of leading points -scorer Gareth Steenson.

Exeter’s win – their sixth in the Premiership this term – not only helped lift the Chiefs back into the division’s...

Train smart - don't waste your efforts!

If longevity and continued long term gains are what you want from your physical training then this article may help. Many years ago I thought that as long as I killed myself every time I trained then I was doing it right. After all I had read the ‘muscle mag’ type articles and this seemed to be the general theme for Macho-meganess!

Now that I have educated myself a bit I still feel that in order to be the best you can be within your genetic make up some ‘smashing it’ is indeed needed, but as I hope to show here this is not always the case.

Chiefs flying without wings as they swat Wasps

Rob Baxter’s side made it a perfect five from five at home in the Aviva Premiership as they overcame visiting London Wasps at Sandy Park.

The Westcountry’s finest moved into the top five courtesy of tries from Chris Whitehead, Haydn Thomas and Phil Dollman; whilst fly-half Gareth Steenson weighed in with the remainder of the Devon side’s points. For Wasps, it meant yet more misery for Londoners on Devon soil – they have now lost all three previous encounters at Sandy Park – and all they could muster was a losing bonus point courtesy of Tommy Bell’s late penalty. Fresh from their first...
