If 2015 produced some sparkling rugby from the Exeter Chiefs, then the New Year began with little fizz for Rob Baxter’s side as they slipped to defeat at Franklin’s Gardens.
Mike Haywood’s first half try, plus a penalty from Northampton fly-half JJ Hanrahan, proved sufficient enough reward for the Saints to see off Devon’s finest.
In a contest which failed to live up to all the pre-match hype, the scant consolation for the travelling Tribe on a miserable afternoon was that their side were able to at least grab a losing bonus point.
A man has died after trying to rescue his dog from the sea on New Year's Day.
The emergency sevices were alerted to people in difficulty in the water off Portmellon near Mevagissey at around 11am.
Two people were subsequently recovered from the sea.
One was recovered by a member of the public and brought to shore, the second person was recovered from the sea by the Coastguard helicopter and was taken to hospital.
The RNLI Lifeboat from Fowey and Mevagissey Coastguard Rescue Team were also in attendance.

Today, Alzheimer’s Society is calling on people to make a positive New Year’s resolution to spend time with people with dementia and help them take part in activities they enjoy to keep...
