In an absorbing contest from start to finish, the Devon club not only ran in five tries through Brett Sturgess, Ben White, Jason Shoemark (2) and...

Scans have shown that Exeter City midfielder Scot Bennett didn’t suffer a serious injury against Bristol Rovers and will only be on the sidelines for a few weeks.

The worst was feared when the 21-year-old was stretchered off against Mark McGhee’s men six days ago but a relieved Paul Tisdale filled us in on the results of the scans.

“The scans proved to be positive,” the City boss said. “He hasn’t got any serious injury, just bad bruising and it will be sore for a number of weeks.

“Now it’s just a case of his pain threshold and what that allows him to do. So that is...

Exeter Chiefs scrum-half Junior Poluleuligaga has today agreed to join Championship outfit Cornish Pirates on a short-term loan deal.

With the Pirates having been dealt an untimely blow with captain Gavin Cattle sustaining an injury in last Friday's 18-18 draw at Doncaster Knights, the Cornish club have moved swiftly to acquire the services of the talented 31-year-old Samoan international.

The Auckland-born number nine, who is now into his third season at Sandy Park, will head to the Duchy with at least a few familiar faces in tow as the Pirates have already dual-...

A goal in each half from Jamie Cureton helped City get back to winning ways at Underhill last night.

The 37-year-old composed himself before pulling the trigger on 37 minutes to fire the Grecians into the lead before nodding home Tommy Doherty’s perfect cross to finish off a great move. City, with the patched-up midfield duo Doherty and Matt Oakley excelling, controlled large parts of the second half but had to fight for the victory after Jake Hyde nodded home but held on for a very satisfying three points. City boss Paul Tisdale pulled a selection surprise by handing a first City...

The drink was inspired by research at Exeter University into the natural benefits...

They have a warning around these parts 'Beware of the Wounded Tiger'.

Having come unstuck at home to defending Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins on home soil the week previous, Leicester Tigers clearly had no intentions of suffering a similar fate as they welcome Exeter Chiefs into town.

Undone twice in the top flight by Rob Baxter's side last term, there would be no repeat this time round for the Tigers, who ran in three tries through winger Adam Thompstone, plus a further 15 points from the boot of fly-half Toby Flood.

In reply, the Chiefs countered with a...
