Exeter Sea Bees launch free youth baseball open day

Young people across Exeter are being invited to discover America's favourite pastime this weekend as the newly formed Exeter Sea Bees hold a free open day for aspiring baseball players.

Taking place on Saturday, July 18, the event marks the launch of the club's new youth programme, which is open to children entering Year 7 and above.

The team takes its name from the famous US Navy Seabees, who were based at Countess Wear during the Second World War and represented Europe in the 1945 European Baseball Championships, with matches played at Exeter City's St James Park....

Things You Need To Know Before Playing the Sport Squash

Squash is quite a challenging game because it entails the need for both physical and mental skills. It goes without saying that in playing the game, you will definitely exercise and work out your whole body physically and intellectually. If you have never tried to play squash before, perhaps now is the right time to do so.

But before that, here are some of the things you need to know about the game.

You need to warm up properly

Just like in any other game, it is important to warm up properly before you play the game. This is to reduce the possibility of letting...

Match report: Exeter City 0 Colchester United 0

A goalless draw at St James Park proved an engrossing fixture as Exeter City were held 0-0 by Colchester United at St James Park on Saturday.

City boss Matt Taylor made two changes to the side that won in Grimsby last weekend, with Nicky Ajose and Jayden Richardson coming in for Lee Martin and Brennan Dickenson. Alex Fisher returned from injury to take his place on the Grecians’ bench.

The Grecians started very brightly and had a superb chance to open the scoring after just two minutes as Ryan Bowman countered single-handedly with a wonderful solo effort, but delayed his...

Exeter Chiefs side to face Sale Sharks

Energy levels across the Gallagher Premiership maybe edging into the red following a relentless 15-week block of fixtures, but Exeter Chiefs Director of Rugby, Rob Baxter, wants his side to 'empty the tank' before getting the chance to refuel in the coming weeks.

Tomorrow's visit of Sale Sharks in the top-flight, coupled with next week's Premiership Rugby Cup semi-final against Harlequins, will bring to a head a relentless opening to the 2019/20 campaign for the Devonians.

After which, they will get a well-earned week off feet before coming together in preparation of their...

Exeter City ploughing up to automatic promotion

Flush off a 1-0 victory over Grimsby Town, Exeter City closed the point gap on Swindon Town in the Sky Bet League table. As it stands, the Grecians are on a level with the Robins (each with 53 points), but behind on goal differential. Crucially, the Grecians have a game in hand, which could very well come in handy down the stretch as the clubs continue jostling for automatic promotion.

In thwarting Grimsby last weekend, the Grecians recorded their tenth 1-0 win on the season and, in turn, their 14th clean sheet in the league, which, incidentally, marks the cleanest sheets of any of...

Match report: Grimsby Town 0 City 1

Exeter City moved level on points with Swindon Town at the top of the Sky Bet League Two table with a 1-0 victory over Grimsby Town.

Nicky Law curled home the only goal of the game, but the Grecians had to ride their luck for large parts of the game as an in-form Grimsby side hit the inside of the post and forced a number of saves from Jonny Maxted and a couple of goalline clearances from Aaron Martin.

Manager Matt Taylor made one change from the side that had beaten Cambridge United last time out, bringing in new signing Brennan Dickenson for Jayden Richardson on...

Chiefs side to face La Rochelle

He's been taking significant chunks out of rivals across Europe ever since he arrived in Westcountry waters back in September, but Exeter's South African Shark, Jacques Vermeulen, still believes there is more to come from him as he continues to make his mark with the Chiefs.

As one of a handful of new recruits brought to Sandy Park by Director of Rugby, Rob Baxter, last summer, the imposing 24-year-old forward has certainly been creating waves with his all-action displays.

Brought in on a three-year deal, Baxter once again appears to have hauled in another prized catch with...

The greatest sporting rivalries of history

Watching sport can ignite passion in people from all walks of life, especially if the narrative of the event in question is built upon a pre-existing rivalry. There is something compelling about seeing two old enemies face one another, whether those enemies are individual athletes or teams of skilled players.

There have been plenty of high profile rivalries over the years, so here are just a few of the most electric to go down in the history books.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur

Some of the best sporting rivalries are not those which result in the most silverware...
