While south coast favourites Exeter City were scheduled to take on League Two strugglers and bottom club Macclesfield Town on Tuesday night, this crucial fixture was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch at the latter’s Moss Rose Stadium.

This was an important game for both sides, particularly with eighth-place Exeter currently sitting just two points off the play-off positions in League Two. The Grecians are also winless in their last three matches, since a narrow 2-1 win at Crewe Alexandra on February 23rd.

Now all attention will switch to St James Park on Saturday, when...

City 3 Colchester United 0

A goal apiece for Nicky Law and Lee Holmes added to a spectacular first-half finish from Matt Jay to see Exeter City triumph 3-0 over Colchester United at St James Park.

Jay's first half strike put the Grecians ahead on the cusp of half-time before Lee Holmes made the score 2-0 with a composed finish.

Nicky Law then rounded off an excellent day for the Grecians when he added to the score sheet with a close range finish as City bounced back from successive defeats.

Grecians boss Matt Taylor made four changes from the side that lost 2-1 at Northampton last week, with...

Northampton 2 City 1

Exeter City suffered back-to-back defeats as goals from Aaron Pierre and Andy Williams condemned them to a 2-1 defeat at Northampton Town.

The Grecians, who struggled to create chances in the first half, were much better after the break and pulled a goal back through Aaron Martin but couldn’t find an equaliser.

City manager Matt Taylor made four changes from the side that lost to Tranmere Rovers last time out as Jonathan Forte, Alex Hartridge, Aaron Martin and Nicky Law all came into the team at the expense of Pierce Sweeney, Randell Williams, Lee Holmes and Donovan Wilson...

Chiefs side to face Worcester Warriors

Rob Baxter will take nothing for granted when his Exeter Chiefs side travel to Worcester Warriors in tomorrow's Gallagher Premiership clash at Sixways (3pm).

Although the two rivals are at opposite ends of the table, the Devonians know from past experience that any drop in standard can potentially lead to disaster.

Last season, the Warriors were the only side to down the Chiefs on home soil in the Premiership, and it's for that very reason that Baxter has issued a note of caution to his players.

Add into the mix also that the Midlanders lost last weekend at bottom...

Four Exeter winners to follow at 2019 Cheltenham Festival

A number of winners at Exeter Racecourse throughout the National Hunt horse racing season go on the four-day Cheltenham Festival on March 12-15, with live chances of following up on their exploits in Devon.

Although the Cheltenham track is configured left-handed and races at Exeter are staged the other way around, the undulating and testing nature of going up into the Haldon Hills can be ideal preparation. With that in mind, here are four Exeter winners to follow at the Festival.

1. Defi Du Seuil

Philip Hobbs-trained six-year-old Defi Du Seuil kickstarted his...

Van Der Sluys leaves the Chiefs

Wilhelm Van Der Sluys has bid an emotional farewell to Exeter Chiefs, bringing to an end his two-season association with the Gallagher Premiership club.

The South African-born forward said his goodbyes to everyone at Sandy Park on Tuesday, before jetting back to his homeland to take up a contract offer with Super Rugby outfit, the Lions.

The 27-year-old was brought to Devon by Chiefs Director of Rugby Rob Baxter in July 2017 from the Kings initially on a one-year deal, but he did enough during that first season to convince Baxter to prolong his stay.

Who are La liga top scorers this season?

The season in La Liga is gradually coming to an end. Very soon we will know the name of the champion, but the owner of the Pichichi trophy is already quite obvious. If nothing changes, then the list of the la liga top scorers will once again be topped by Lionel Messi.

In the current season, the Argentinean once again proves that he has no equals in the world. Moreover, in many matches he almost single-handedly pulled off all Barcelona moments and took the whole game into his own hands. Of course, the partners trust Messi, and this is not surprising at all. In the current season, he...
