Put your best foot forward! Don’t delay and sign up for the Men’s Walk 2018 – that’s the message from Hospiscare. The 2017 event was a sell-out success, so would-be walkers are being urged to sign up as soon as possible so as not to miss out on a place on next year’s walk.

Rob Baxter is confident his Exeter Chiefs side can kick-off the New Year in much the same manner as they finished a memorable 2017 with victory away to Newcastle Falcons on Sunday (3pm).
The reigning Aviva Premiership champions brought the curtain down on a memorable 12 months on New Year’s Eve when they produced a powerful second half display - one which yielded four tries - to see off visiting Leicester Tigers 30-6 at Sandy Park.
