And the Exeter cancer charity has today announced its star auction prize that will be available only to party-goers on December 7.

“This is something you simply won’t want to miss,” said Sarah Daniels, FORCE Head of Income Generation. “We are so excited that we have secured a fabulous VIP package to watch the mighty Exeter Chiefs.”

The Wigwam Marquee adds to Sandy Park’s already substantial wedding and events offering. The versatile venue has a civil ceremony licence and a range of suites to suit...

The clocks may have gone back overnight, but Bath used over time at Sandy Park to seal themselves a priceless Aviva Premiership victory over Exeter Chiefs.

Winger Semesa Rokoduguni landed the knockout blow for Todd Blackadder’s high-flying oufit, flooring the Devon outfit with a try seven minutes into added on time.

The England international powered his way to the line to seal a remarkable result for the visitors, whose other points on the day came from the boot of George Ford.

Up until then, however, Rob Baxter’s side looked to have been on course for a notable...

A turf cutting has been held to mark the recent start of improvements to the A379 Sandy Park Junction in Exeter

Earthworks are underway on the £2.5 million upgrade to create a signalised junction which will allow all traffic movements. A recent overnight closure has enabled temporary barriers to be installed to protect the workforce and also road users from excavations.

The current junction, which accesses Sandy Park rugby ground and David Lloyd leisure centre, has a ‘left-in, left-out’ traffic system. The upgrade will enable right turns in and out of the site in order to...

A bit like the Incredible Hulk, you don’t want to see him angry, but an angry Rob Baxter pulled no punches after watching his side slip to defeat in their European Champions Cup opener against ASM Clermont Auvergne.

Having watched his side make a spluttering start to this season’s Aviva Premiership campaign, the Chiefs failed to fire at all against the star-studded Frenchmen, who inspired by Wesley Fofana cruised their way to all five points at Sandy Park.

The talented French international helped himself to a brace of tries, while Julien Bardy, Noa Nakaitaci and Nick...

Rob Baxter has made no secret of the fact that his Exeter Chiefs side must get off to a fast start in this season’s European Champions Cup.

Defeat on the road in round one of last season’s competition meant the Devonians were always playing catch-up, but that they did with aplomb, eventually advancing out of a group which included the Ospreys, Bordeaux-Begles and ASM Clermont Auvergne.

In a curious twist of fate the Chiefs again find themselves up against the two French clubs, along with Ulster Rugby, in what is another testing Pool Two.

However, Baxter says facing...

Damian Welch’s last-gasp try snatched a dramatic draw for Exeter Chiefs in an enthralling derby with Gloucester at Sandy Park.

With less than a minute remaining, Gloucester’s hopes of a second Aviva Premiership victory of the season were dashed when the Chiefs mauled their way over in the left-hand corner to tie the scores at 27-27.

Even then Rob Baxter’s side could have won it at the death, but the normally deadly Gareth Steenson was unable to land the tricky conversion from wide on the touchline.

Following a disappointing 15-6 defeat at the hands of Bath Rugby...
