Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after three of his current squad today put pen to paper on new deals with the Aviva Premiership club.
Props Ben Moon (top right) and Carl Rimmer (main picture), together with hooker Shaun Malton, have all agreed terms to extend their stays at Sandy Park.
Long-serving loose-head Moon has signed a new three-year deal, while Rimmer has agreed to extend his stay in Devon for a further two years. Meanwhile, Malton will be prolonging his Chiefs career for another year at least.
The second Comedy at the Park of 2017 will take place on Friday, 28th April from 7.00pm.
MC for the evening is Barry Castagnola, who's described as ‘a confident, likeable comic’. The first comic up is Steve Day, a ‘warm, witty and engaging’ stand-up, who'll be followed by 'brilliant and clever' Karen Bayley. Headlining the evening will be Andy Wilky: ‘a rock-solid act guaranteed to entertain’.
Doors open from 7.00pm, with food available immediately and the acts beginning at 8.00pm. The evening will conclude at approximately 10.30pm.
Exeter Chiefs maintained their top three placing in the Aviva Premiership with a hard-fought draw against leaders Wasps at Sandy Park.
In what was a pulsating encounter from start to finish, Rob Baxter’s side couldn’t quite sneak over the finish line to secure maximum reward, this despite playing most of the second half with 14 men following a red card for lock Jonny Hill.
Joe Simpson’s converted score ten minutes from time enabled the visitors to claim a share of the spoils and maintain their lofty position after 14 rounds of battle.
Sam Simmonds has every reason to be beaming with delight today as not only is he set to make his Aviva Premiership debut, but the young Exeter Chiefs forward has also penned a new two-year deal with the Devon club.
The 22-year-old will celebrate his latest contract by packing down at No.8 for Rob Baxter’s side when they play host to Wasps at Sandy Park (1pm).

Ricky Pellow says his Exeter Chiefs will need to be "up for fight" ahead of tomorrow's latest Anglo-Welsh encounter against Wasps at Sandy Park (3pm).

Cornishman Pellow is well aware the Chiefs must not only make the most of home advantage this weekend against their Premiership counterparts, but at the same time produce a performance that keeps them very much in the hunt for qualification entering into the final round in a week's time...
