Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale said he felt his side were hard done to on Saturday as a dubious offside flag cost them at Carlisle United.
The Grecians fell to a 3-2 loss at Brunton Park with goals from Shaun Miller, in the 89th minute, and Charlie Wyke, in the seventh minute of stoppage time, giving the Cumbrians all three points.
However, City had a glorious chance to take all three points when the scores were level at 2-2. Carlisle had set up in a 2-4-4 formation at this point as they looked for a stoppage time winner.
The Exeter branch of RGB Building Supplies is asking customers and members of the local community to donate gifts, no matter how big or small, to its Christmas Present Appeal in aid of Children’s Hospice South West.
Between Monday 14th November and Monday 12th December, a gift suitable for a child of any age or their parents can be placed under the Christmas tree in the Exeter branch. At the end of the appeal, Children’s Hospice South West will distribute the presents to the children and families they support, in time to be enjoyed over the festive period.
Will Chudley marked his return to former club Newcastle Falcons by claiming the bonus point try as Exeter Chiefs returned to winning ways at Kingston Park.
The scrum-half sniped over two minutes from time to put the icing on the cake for Rob Baxter’s side, who added earlier tries through Ollie Devoto, Thomas Waldrom and James Short.
Skipper Gareth Steenson weighed in with the remainder of the points to ensure Exeter of their third league win of the season, a result which also lifted them back into the top four for 24 hours at least.
The team at the Exeter Christmas Market are all hands on deck in a final push to prepare the festive market for opening this Saturday on Cathedral Green.

But thanks to the hard work of teams at Exeter City Council, Exeter Cathedral and Market Place (operators of the market) who worked closely with safety advisors, a safe and appropriate way forward was established.
This year’s market has a different layout than previous...
