Exeter’s Henry Slade may well be one of English’s rugby gems of the future, but today it was the wise old man Andy Goode who proved the ‘King of Adams Park’ as he settled an enthralling Aviva Premiership encounter.

With the final kick of the game, the experienced No.10 dispatched a sublime 40-metre drop-goal to condemn Rob Baxter’s visiting Chiefs to a sixth league defeat of the season.

Mocked by the home faithful during a patchy first half from the former England international, Goode duly answered his critics in style after the...

Exeter City korfball club finished 2013 at the top of divisions one and two of the South West league.

Both of the club's league teams have beaten competitive opposition from as far afield as Gloucester and Bristol. Exeter coach, Rob King, said "This is an exciting time for us as we look to secure league wins and promotion positions later in the season." This has all been achieved with the club expanding, training many new recruits, and forming a non-league third team to accommodate new players.

Club chairman James Hardy commented: "A central part of the...

In December the Exeter Axhayes Adoption Centre ran their first Santa Paws Appeal. The idea was a simple one. People were asked to fill a box with cat toys, treats, food etc and donate it to the cats and kittens in their care.

Many local businesses supported the appeal. Badger Design Ltd designed and provided the posters. Co-Op stores at Sidwell Street, Cowick Street, Heavitree and Broadclyst acted as drop off points as did Lush Cosmetics on the High Street, Pets at Home Alphington and St Davids Veterinary Hospital.

From everyone at Exeter Axhayes, they would like to thank...

A programme of works to repair the B3193 in the Teign Valley near Chudleigh will begin early 2014 with the first road closure planned for Monday 13th January.

The closure will be for 5 days until Friday 17th January from 9:00am to 3:30pm.

The B3193 at Whetcombe Barton sustained major damage during last year’s flooding events as the county was left with an £18 million repair bill to its highway network.

Since August 2012, temporary traffic lights have been in place on the road, reducing it to one lane in order to protect the edge of this section of road, which has...

Creative school children have helped make award-winning Decoy Country Park an even better place to be.

Pupils from Decoy Primary School joined up Teignbridge District Council's Countryside Ranger Simon Cunningham and Devon Wildlife Trust to create illustrations and poetry for the handrails of a new boardwalk at Magazine Pond. It has new ramped access for pushchairs and wheelchairs so people have easy and safe access to the water’s edge.

The boardwalk is made from English oak and replaces a previous one in softwood which had come to the end of its life.
