Lee Martin’s stunning effort was enough to help Exeter City to a 1-0 win over Crewe Alexandra at St James Park in Sky Bet League Two.

The only goal of the game came when the midfielder cut in from the left before sending an exquisite effort into the top corner from distance.

The Grecians made three changes to the side that started the loss to Bury last time out as Martin, Dean Moxey and Archie Collins came into the side against David Artell’s team.

Her mother Mary Kettle received the devastating news from the police that her daughter had been killed due to a driver who “had...

There were some extra special visitors to Bramble Ward at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital this week.

The players delivered dozens of bears, toys, calendars, footballs and signed merchandise to the young patients.

The players who visited the ward were manager Matt Taylor, assistant manager Eric Kinder, Pierce Sweeney, Jake Taylor, Lee Holmes, Jayden Stockley, Dean...

Here are three tips for creating a well balanced office in a small space.

Use Your Wall Space

When you are dealing with a smaller space, you should take advantage of all of the spaces you have available, including wall space. Since you don't want to over clutter the floor...

Rob Baxter says his Exeter Chiefs side must use the disappointment of their European campaign so far to make them a better side moving forward.

Hopes were high at the start of the season that the Devonians would really attack their rivals in this season’s Heineken Champions Cup. However, that has not proved the case and after three rounds the Chiefs are still without a win and sat bottom of Pool Two.

An opening round draw with Munster at Sandy Park has since been followed with defeats to Castres and Gloucester, the latter coming just last Saturday when the Cherry &...
