Ian Whitten admits there was a glowing sense of satisfaction within the ranks after Exeter Chiefs returned to winning ways in the Aviva Premiership with a 46-17 victory over Newcastle Falcons on Saturday.
After four successive defeats in the last block of top flight fixtures, Rob Baxter’s side rediscovered their winning formula with an outstanding display that yielded six tries at Sandy Park.
Fly-half Henry Slade claimed 19 points for the Devon club, including a first half try, and there were touchdowns for Jack Nowell, Thomas Waldrom, Phil Dollman and Haydn Thomas, as well...

“Imagine one single person standing under a gazebo on a makeshift floor of cardboard boxes, cold from the wind and watching the rain come down. It is now three hours since someone stopped to buy something. So, why is he there? He is here because one of his regular customers might just want to buy some sausages this afternoon. This is why I started the awards scheme - to recognise these people and to thank them for what they do.”
Farmer’s daughter, Vicki Sargent, is passionate about the food and drink industry. So much so that, 18 months ago, the 32-year-old mother-of-two launched a...
Sky field engineers from across Devon converged on Paignton Zoo to make some hefty treats for the larger animals.
The team of 18 engineers from Plymouth, Tavistock and Torbay made environmental enrichment devices for different species, including big balls for the rhinos and big cats.
As you can imagine, any toy that a rhino is going to play with needs to be tough. A rhino ball is made out of car and tractor tyres bolted together. In this instance, they have metal brackets inside so they make a noise when rolled, making them even more interesting.

Following a 1-0 loss to Portsmouth at Fratton Park, Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale felt that the result could have just as easily been reversed based on the balance of play.
An exciting, open and entertaining game of football saw presentable chances at both ends – Josh Passley and James Dunne struck the woodwork either side of half-time for the hosts, and Arron Davies saw an effort bounce off Paul Jones’ crossbar late in the game.
Jed Wallace had blazed a penalty over the bar midway through the second period when Matt Tubbs was brought down in the box by Christian Ribeiro...
