Two researchers from the University of Exeter have made a positive start to 2018 and put their New Year’s resolutions into action as they strive for success in completing an epic 350 mile cycle ride.

Dr Llewellyn knows how tough preparation can be. He had planned to join a team of six dementia researchers on the ride last summer – but had to withdraw after breaking his wrist when he fell off his...
Exeter’s hopes of dining out with Europe’s elite in the latter stages of this season’s Champions Cup were sadly burnt to pieces in a crucial ten minute spell here at Scotstoun.
With little to choose between the Chiefs and hosts Glasgow Warriors at the break, it was the Scotsmen who prospered in the second period, claiming a first European win of the season, and with it extinguishing Exeter’s hopes of a last eight place.
A controversial yellow card against Chiefs scrum-half Nic White not only saw him banished from the action midway through the half, but the penalty try and...

Exeter City got back to winning ways away from home with a 2-1 win over Notts County at Meadow Lane in Sky Bet League Two.
An early strike from Jake Taylor and a smart finish from Jayden Stockley gave the Grecians a two-goal cushion at half-time, before Jon Stead pulled a goal back for the hosts with a second-half penalty.

Despite the overall economic gloom surrounding Brexit, it seems that people in the south-west can look forward to a housing market that is enjoying relative stability.
Recently published reports suggest that there were price gains of 4.9% in the south-west of the UK during 2017. Whilst house prices in London crawled to a modest rise of just 1%, it seems that cities like Exeter are behind the newfound optimism in the south-west’s housing market.
Across 2017 we saw Exeter’s property types of all kinds enjoying a boost in sales prices. Compared to prices in 1995, we have seen...
Gambling laws may be weird and complicated. While most jurisdictions in the world regulate this activity in one way or another, some countries banned gambling altogether. These guys just don’t know what they’re missing out on.
