Lads and dads are being called to take part in a rugby day out for Hospiscare in 2014.
The 10k Hospiscare Men’s Walk is a great way to spend a lads’ day out alongside friends and family members, with the male bonding continuing post-walk with a pint, pasty and three Six Nations rugby matches.
The third annual Men’s Walk will once again commence from the home of the Exeter Chiefs on Saturday March 15. The walk takes in spectacular views of the City as it goes through Ludwell Valley Park before heading back to the finish line at Sandy Park.
As of 9.30am on Saturday morning, the St James Park pitch is in good condition and clear of surface water, and the match against Mansfield looks set to go ahead as planned.
The ground staff are continuing to work hard to ensure that the pitch maintains its condition until 3pm, but presently there are no major concerns over the likelihood of the fixture going ahead.
So come down to SJP for the 3pm kick-off and belatedly cheer the Grecians into the New Year! And as always, stay safe in the wet weather.
