Chiefs Women sign Lola Whitley from Gloucester-Hartpury

Exeter Chiefs Women have signed versatile forward Lola Whitley from Gloucester-Hartpury.

The 21-year-old is equally comfortable at lock and in the back-row and played for England U20s last year.

Initially more of a fan of athletics, 100 metres and high jump in particular, Whitley began playing rugby at Sudbury RFC aged 13 when a friend dragged her along to a game. She started off on the wing and scored 10 tries in that first match.

She said: “I was pretty awful, but I just loved running though people!”

Sometimes inspiration strikes us like a lightning bolt straight from the heavens. Sometimes it doesn’t. Inspiration is a bit like a badger, mostly in the way that you don’t see either of them very often and it’s a very giddy moment when you do. But also, if you sit at home waiting all day, you will chance upon neither a badger nor inspiration. Sometimes you must take matters into your own hands: like gazing upon inspirational sports images !

Sports events live

The intense football season gradually came to its middle. The European cups took pauses, and the players are focused on the domestic Championships.

Let’s pay attention to the French League 1, where PSG continues to dominate.

Already by the equator of the tournament, the team of Thomas Tuchel is virtually guaranteed themselves a gold medal. This was possible not only due to the impressive start of the Parisians, who had a record winning streak at the start of top leagues, but also due to the problems of the main competitors, in particular, Monaco. The team was considered as...

City 1 Crewe Alexandra 0

Lee Martin’s stunning effort was enough to help Exeter City to a 1-0 win over Crewe Alexandra at St James Park in Sky Bet League Two.

The only goal of the game came when the midfielder cut in from the left before sending an exquisite effort into the top corner from distance.

The Grecians made three changes to the side that started the loss to Bury last time out as Martin, Dean Moxey and Archie Collins came into the side against David Artell’s team.

Following a 13:45 pitch inspection at St James Park due to heavy rain, referee Craig Hicks deemed the pitch playable as...

Fired-up Chiefs secure a vital win

A bit like the Incredible Hulk, you don’t want to make the Exeter Chiefs angry.

Undone on home soil for the first time since February by Gloucester the week previous, Rob Baxter’s side gained sweet revenge by claiming their first Heineken Champions Cup victory of the season.

Tries from Sam Skinner, Don Armand, Jack Yeandle and Harry Williams, plus kicks from Gareth Steenson, ensured the Devonians kept alive any hopes of qualification from Pool Two with just two fixtures remaining next month.

Gloucester, meanwhile, were left to lick their wounds as they countered...

Chiefs side to face Gloucester

Rob Baxter says his Exeter Chiefs side must use the disappointment of their European campaign so far to make them a better side moving forward.

Hopes were high at the start of the season that the Devonians would really attack their rivals in this season’s Heineken Champions Cup. However, that has not proved the case and after three rounds the Chiefs are still without a win and sat bottom of Pool Two.

An opening round draw with Munster at Sandy Park has since been followed with defeats to Castres and Gloucester, the latter coming just last Saturday when the Cherry &...
