Just over 12 months after it burned to the ground, Exeter’s Hole In The Wall pub has risen from the ashes.

Owners George Sloan and Rob Skinner have invested hundreds of thousands of pounds in restoring the venue to its former glory.

And that is on top of the tens of thousands they spent refurbishing the pub when they originally bought it two years ago.

However, after “an enormous slog” the venue is once again open for business and bigger and better than before.

Mr Sloan said: “It’s been a tough year and a bit. The place was devastated and we, more or less,...

Another key re-signing for Chiefs

Just days after securing the long-term futures of Sam Hill and Tomas Francis, Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has moved swiftly to tie down another of his first team squad until 2017.

Keen to ensure continuity within the playing ranks at Sandy Park, Baxter has now added Australian forward Mitch Lees to those extending their stay with the Aviva Premiership club.

Lees, 26, joined the Chiefs ahead of the 2014/15 season from London Welsh and quickly established himself as a key figure in Baxter’s plan, featuring in 24 games last season.

In terms of a first outing, it had a bit of everything, but Rob Baxter knows there is still plenty to work on for his Exeter Chiefs ahead of the new 2015/16 season.

Five tries in attack were certainly the key highlights, but shipping six in defence was somewhat of an issue for the experienced Exeter leader at the final whistle which saw the Chiefs victorious by 41 to 38.

Of course he will focus on both the good and the bad over the coming weeks, but it was the former which far exceeded the latter in terms of the overall package in this exciting West Country Challenge Cup...

The waiting is over and rugby returns to Sandy Park today (Saturday) as Exeter Chiefs prepare to kick-off their 2015-16 campaign with the visit of Gloucester in the inaugural match of the West Country Challenge Cup (4:30pm).
