Exeter Chiefs maintained pole position in this season’s Gallagher Premiership, notching up a fourth win on the bounce against rivals Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park.

Facing off against familiar foes - last season the two clubs met on four occasions - Rob Baxter’s side were given their stiffest examination of the new season yet by a resilient Falcons outfit.

Sam Simmonds, surprisingly left out of this week’s 36-man England training squad, gave a timely reminder to coach Eddie Jones of his powers, bagging two of Exeter’s three tries on the night.

He not only took...

Topsham to Turkey cycle for intrepid trio

Three intrepid cyclists are riding from Topsham to Turkey on an adventure of a lifetime.

Joe Moran, Timmy Jones and Howard Parker set out today(September 22) to pedal 3,000 miles across Europe, all the way from Devon to Istanbul. The route they’ve chosen passes through 12 countries and should take them around eight weeks to complete.

They aim to cover between 60 and 70 miles a day and will camp out each night.

The plan is to do as little climbing as possible and they will take in riverside cycle ways along the Rhine and the Danube. But they still face some...

Jonathan Forte then made sure the points were safe for the Grecians as he scored late with a smart finish.

The Grecians made one change from the 2-1 win at Mansfield Town last time out with Lee Holmes missing through...
