Exeter City 3 Yeovil Town 3: Match report

Exeter City showed their never-say-die attitude as they battled back from three goals down at home to Yeovil Town.

The Grecians looked to be heading to defeat in the 89th minute even when David Wheeler had crashed a volley off the inside of the post. However, Troy Brown then headed home in the first minute of stoppage time and Reuben Reid completed a remarkable comeback that kept City in the play-off places with seven games of the season to go.

City manager Paul Tisdale made four changes to the starting line-up. Wheeler and Reid, having not trained all week due to injuries...

Chiefs 30 Sharks 25

Exeter Chiefs netted themselves another five-point haul, but head coach Rob Baxter was far from happy despite seeing his side maintain their top two status with this hard-fought victory over visiting Sale Sharks.

The Chiefs survived a real scare from Steve Diamond’s side to record their 11th league win of the campaign courtesy of tries from Kai Horstmann, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Olly Woodburn and Don Armand, but those were the key highlights in a performance that Baxter insisted post-match lacked any real intensity.

Sale made the most of favourable conditions to dominate for...

Consumer spending growth in SW set for a four-year low

After enjoying ‘boom’ conditions last year, consumer spending growth is expected to fall to a four-year low in 2017, according to the EY ITEM Club’s special report on consumer spending. Household spending power will be hit by a sharp deceleration in real income growth as a result of a triple-whammy of rising inflation off the back of sterling’s drop in 2016, stagnation in the jobs market and the impact of cuts in welfare spending on non-work incomes. Lower earners are likely to be hit disproportionately hard. CPI inflation is expected to average 2.8% this year, a five-year high, and the EY...

Chiefs side to face Sale Sharks

Ali Hepher believes Exeter Chiefs still have areas to work on as their Aviva Premiership season heads towards the final straight. Undefeated in the top flight since late October, the Chiefs have produced an impressive run of results that has not only propelled them to second in the current standings, but has put them firmly on course for home advantage in the end of season play-offs. With just five rounds of the scheduled season remaining, three of which will be played at Sandy Park, Hepher says it’s imperative his side not only maintain their current performance levels, but in turn also...
