An exciting new event comes to Devon for the first time later this year when Hospiscare hosts Wild Tri, and its big brother, Wild Tri Extreme.

This will be a wild take on a triathlon, and promises to be an exhilarating experience that will challenge hard-core extreme event enthusiasts, as well as novices and those who like their events just a tad less challenging. The event will take place near Okehampton on 14 September, allowing plenty of time for preparation.

Routes for both Wild Tri and Wild Tri Extreme will take participants across the bleak and stunning landscapes of...

City 1 Crawley Town 3

Exeter City fell to a 3-1 defeat to Crawley Town at St James Park in Sky Bet League Two.

Two goals from Reece Grego-Cox and a first half finish from Filipe Morais did the damage for the away side with Ryan Bowman netting City’s only goal as they looked for a way back into the match.

Manager Matt Taylor made an unchanged side to the 11 that started the 2-0 win over Port Vale last time out as the Grecians looked to further consolidate a place in the play-off positions. It was the away side who would see more of the possession in the opening 10 minutes with City forced into a...

Instead of snow, it was high winds and rain that tested the ever growing band of men who took part in Hospiscare ’s Men’s Walk this year. Just under 1000 resilient men signed up for the challenge, making it Hospiscare’s most successful Men’s Walk to date.

The weather conditions were again challenging but spirits were high as the walkers set off from the Double Locks pub. Along the route they were buoyed by an amazing team of dedicate volunteers offering support and encouragement. Live entertainment and free pizza was provided at The Waterfront , before returning to the Double Locks...

Nowacki takes cycle speedway season opener in Exeter

Lukas Nowacki took the honours in the opening round of cycle speedway’s HSBC UK Elite Grand Prix Series at Exeter, but was made to work hard for the win.

The Horspath rider was taken to a run-off by Birmingham’s Chris Timms, after both riders dropped a point each from the 20 available.

Ben Mould completed the podium with 17 points; the Poole rider crashed in his opening race but rallied with wins in his last four heats to snatch third from team-mate Frazer Garnett.

The opening race of the series saw a reduced field take to the Devon track but nonetheless racing...

Winners of the Petplan Equine Medium Under 21, Danielle Balsdon and Lord Lennox from Poltimore in Exeter were delighted with a top place position in a very competitive class at Hartpury College, Gloucestershire on Sunday 7 April 2019.

Danielle was thrilled with Lord Lennox’s performance in an electrifying atmosphere with some exceptional partnerships competing for the Petplan Equine Medium Under 21 title.

“I’m totally overwhelmed and wasn’t expecting this. He did some of his best ever trot work today but as usual made me ride every step of canter. Today’s the first time he...

Cheltenham Town 1 Exeter City 1

Exeter City picked up a hard-earned point in controversial circumstances against Cheltenham Town.

The Grecians had looked in control of the match early in the second half, having been given a lead at the break through Dean Moxey’s pinpoint strike.

However, Cheltenham were then awarded a dubious penalty for a collision between City keeper Christy Pym and striker Luke Varney to level the scores. And then to make matters worse Pym, having been booked for giving away the penalty, was then shown a second yellow card deep into injury time for pushing Billy Waters as he attempted...

If the world’s most famous steeple chase, the Randox Grand National, has fuelled the imaginations of pony-loving children, next Tuesday’s Junior Jumpers Raceday (9 April) at Exeter Racecourse will prove the perfect day out.

Women’s running champions Peg and Pauline to retire

After a combined total of 70 years in running, coaching and supporting women runners, Devon’s Pauline Beare and Peg Wiseman have finally decided that the Women Can Challenges 2019 will mark the end of an era for them.

“Neither one of us is getting any younger and finally qualifying for a state pension should enable us to concentrate on some quality time, being active together while we still can,” said Pauline.

“We will of course continue coaching and running but the demands of planning and delivering programmes and events will end with the last woman who crosses the finish...
