Kruger Quartet 3-5 March 2016 Performances in Hatherleigh (Devon), Ilminster (Somerset) and Lyme Regis (Dorset)

Famed for their love of cake and classical quartet repertoire, a group of dedicated young musicians formed the Kruger Quartet in 2014 with the aim of giving audiences a chance to experience intimate performances of the works of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven, played using 18th Century instruments and bows. The Quartet was inspired originally by Marc Destrube's Microcosmos quartet, whose style of playing reflects the composers' intentions as closely as possible.

Chiefs reach Champions Cup quarter-finals

Exeter Chiefs 33 Ospreys 17: Match report.

And so the European adventure continues for Exeter Chiefs following an unbelievable final round of action in Pool Two of this season’s Champions Cup.

Seemingly with a mountain to climb ahead of kick-off, Rob Baxter’s side dug deep not only to see off the Ospreys with a five-try blast, but at the same time preserve their lengthy home record.

Exeter’s 33-17 victory will live long in the minds of those who packed into Sandy Park, whilst for those watching on TV at home, the viewing was equally compelling as they advanced to...

Chiefs side to face Ospreys

Advancing into the last eight of Europe may seem a tall order for the Exeter Chiefs, but head coach Rob Baxter is refusing to give up hope and wants his side to finish their Pool Two programme on a high against the Ospreys today (Sunday) at Sandy Park (3:15pm).

Last Saturday’s 34-27 reverse away to Bordeaux-Begles means the Chiefs need to accrue maximum reward against the Welsh region this weekend, whilst hope results elsewhere in France between Clermont-Auvergne and Bordeaux-Begles fall in the right direction for them.

Whatever the outcome, Baxter’s side will once again...
