Manager Matt Taylor named the same side that started the 2-0 win over Swindon Town last weekend, as the Grecians faced the first of two long away trips within a week.
City’s first chance of the match fell in the eighth minute when Jonathan Forte did well to latch...

Rob Baxter insists the way his side finished last week’s Heineken Champions Cup opener against Munster must now be the starting point for his players ahead of tomorrow’s Round Two clash with Castres (2pm). With little to choose between the Chiefs and Munster in horrendous conditions at Sandy Park, it was the current Gallagher Premiership leaders who were pressing hard in the dying minutes. Up against a gale force wind, Baxter’s side came within a whisker of claiming all four points against the Irish province. Sadly, a knock-on in the last action of the game ended their hopes of a famous...
Joe. Java. Fix. Whatever you call it, coffee is something nearly everyone drinks can’t get enough of. You might lap this drink up like mother’s milk, but there’s more to coffee than you may know. We’re not talking about some hidden health benefit of coffee - though the health benefits of coffee are often forgotten or go overlooked - but rather its history as well as how it has been used and perceived.
Europeans may have only known about it since the 17th century, but legends of coffee consumption and appreciation date back to as early as the 9th century. That is just one little...

Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah may have lit up English football in 2018, but there is another name - less familiar to the general public - who tops the goalscoring charts across the English leagues.
Exeter City's Jayden Stockley has 22 goals so far in 2018, more than any other player in England in this calendar year. Across all of Europe's professional leagues in fact, only Cristiano Ronaldo (26) and Lionel Messi (25) have scored more.
Not bad company for a striker plying his trade in League Two.
The 25-year-old from Poole, a product of Bournemouth’s academy, has his...
