England are one of the two oldest national teams in football; alongside Scotland, whom they played in the world’s first international football match in 1872. They were World Cup hosts and winners in 1966 and semi-finalists in Italy in 1990, though it’s arguable whether they are still a top ten team in the world right now, even though they’re officially ranked at #10 in the FIFA World Rankings. Most Capped Player: Peter Shilton, 125 (1970 – 1990) Top Goal Scorer: Bobby Charlton, 49 (1968 – 1970)
Since its founding in 2010, the award winning South West Athletics Academy has been building up a portfolio of successful annual sporting events and activities. These are well supported by Westcountry athletes and grow year upon year.
With several major regional sporting events now planned over the coming months, Director of Coaching Sonya Ellis is seeking sponsor partnerships to improve the experience still further for volunteers, officials and athletes.
“Organising such large events is a great challenge. We want to make sure that athletes, officials and volunteers are...

England Netball are excited to announce the launch of our Netball Youth Camps (NYC) this summer. When we spoke to junior netballers they told us that they wanted more opportunities to play netball during the summer holidays so we have designed these camps to do just that!
The camps are non-residential holiday camps designed for 11-16 year olds providing ‘Nothing but Netball’; including top quality coaching, fun netball activities and even an opportunity to meet and be inspired by an England player. If you are a junior netball lover (or the parent of one!) these are an unmissable...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after highly-rated forward Luke Cowan-Dickie today put pen to paper on a new contract with the Aviva Premiership club.
The 20-year-old’s new deal – which is a two-year extension to his current contract – will keep him at Sandy Park until at least the summer of 2017 and is another clear indicator that Baxter is willing to back the club’s crop of promising youngsters to deliver on the big stage.
Cornishman Cowan-Dickie, a product of the club’s academy system at Truro College, has built on the success of helping...
It’s been quite a year for Luke Cowan-Dickie, but the young Cornishman is predicting even brighter times ahead for him at Exeter Chiefs in the future.
The 20-year-old hooker today extended his stay at Sandy Park until 2017 when he penned terms on a new contract extension with head coach Rob Baxter.
In a 12-month period that has seen Cowan-Dickie help England Under-20s to Junior World Championship glory; the Chiefs to lift their first major silverware in 143 years; as well as featuring in the Aviva Premiership and Heineken Cup, it’s little wonder the Truro-born forward has...
After 21 rounds of bruising battle in the Aviva Premiership, Exeter Chiefs will head out at Newcastle Falcons tomorrow determined to land a telling final blow. In a season of highs and lows for Rob Baxter’s side, the dream of tackling Europe’s elite may have been curtailed with last weekend’s late loss to Harlequins, but as a whole the Chiefs leader insists there is much to be positive about ahead of their trip to Kingston Park. With the first major silverware in the bag, another tidy showing in the Heineken Cup and some notable scalps within the Premiership, Baxter says the foundations...
Bicton College’s Chiefs Rugby Academy competed in the British Colleges Elite Final against Bishop Burton College and won with a resounding 35 – 20 score today.

Ollie Dawe and Josh Caulfield returned to play from their England U17 appearances at the weekend where they won 29 - 25 against France. The side also welcomed back last year’s Captain Luke Mingo after a hand operation, making his final appearance playing for the College a...
