New skipper Dean Mumm bemoaned a poor first half showing as Exeter Chiefs kicked off the new Aviva Premiership season with a disappointing 38-11 defeat at Northampton Saints.
In a one-sided first 40 minutes at Franklin's Gardens, the impressive Saints ran riot as they claimed a try bonus point inside 36 minutes thanks to touchdowns from Dylan Hartley, Tom Wood, Ken Pisi and George Pisi.
Although the Chiefs improved greatly after the break - claiming a try through Mumm himself - the home side had the final word when replacement Samu Manoa crossed from...

Exeter’s wait for a first-ever win at Franklin’s Gardens will continue for another year at least as the Chiefs were swot to one side by an impressive Northampton Saints side.
Jim Mallinder’s hosts ran in five tries – four of them in the first half – through Dylan Hartley, Ken Pisi, Tom Wood, George Pisi and Samu Manoa, whilst fly-half Stephen Myler added a further 13 points with a faultless display with the boot. It was simply too much for the Chiefs who, despite a much-improved second half showing, could only counter...

Exeter City and Dagenham & Redbridge played out a 1-1 draw at Victoria Road, in a tempestuous game in the capital.
The breakthrough came midway into the first half for the Daggers, as Josh Scott profited from a breakdown in communication amongst the City rearguard and put the ball into an empty net.
Dagenham spurned opportunities to put daylight between the teams in the first half, and so Sam Parkin’s superb header in a much-improved second period brought the scores level to send the Grecians back to Devon with a point....

Dance is one of my greatest passions… ballet, street dance, ballroom, latin, tap, you name it I love it, I could watch it for hours and occasionally (when I think no one is watching) I'll take part myself, dancing around the house with my children. And yes I too am waiting in eager anticipation for the next season of Strictly Come Dancing to commence this evening.
However, it is live performance that sends chills down my spine. Most of my appreciation comes from the fact that I still regret giving up ballet at an early age and am in awe of anyone who has followed their dreams. I...
