Rugby players, local businesses and even an otter have come together to support what is expected to be Hospiscare’s best ever Men’s Walk this March.
The rugby day out, taking place on Saturday March 15, will include new additions along the 10k route to keep the walkers both entertained and refreshed.
More than 400 men signed up to take part in the Men’s Walk last year, and Hospiscare Event Fundraiser Hannah Slater said the chance to have a lads and dads day out, coupled with the draw of watching three Six Nations matches at the home of the Exeter Chiefs, has seen men...
Aussie international Dean Mumm says Exeter Chiefs must continue to keep working hard in their bid to rediscover their winning touch in the Aviva Premiership.
Sunday's 23-10 loss at Saracens not only gave Rob Baxter's side an unwanted hat-trick of losses against the division's top three in as many weeks, but also condemned the Chiefs to a seventh league loss in eight starts.
With London Irish next on the agenda at Sandy Park this Saturday (3pm), Mumm is hoping a return to home comforts will help re-ignite the Chiefs after a testing few weeks.
It’s the kind of thing you dream of as a youngster, but tomorrow Jack Nowell’s dreams will become reality when the Exeter Chiefs star runs out for England at Twickenham for the first time in his fledgling international career. The 20-year-old has again been named in Stuart Lancaster’s starting XV for their latest Six Nations encounter against Ireland. Fresh from victory away to Scotland a fortnight ago at Murrayfield, England will now be looking to throw a spanner in the works of the visiting Irish, who themselves have yet to taste defeat in this season’s competition following wins over...
Ben Moon says it's vital Exeter Chiefs cut out the "silly mistakes" if they are to challenge as one of the leading lights in the Aviva Premiership this season.
The 24-year-old prop could not hide his disappointment after the Chiefs slipped to yet another narrow defeat when they went down 27-23 to rivals Bath at Sandy Park last Saturday.
Back-to-back home defeats to Northampton Saints and Bath have left Rob Baxter's sitting in eighth position, some ten points adrift of fourth-placed Harlequins, who occupy the last of the four play-off berths.
A local man is encouraging people to come together for the 2014 Hospiscare Men’s Walk to support the local charity who gave ‘outstanding’ care to both his mother and mother-in-law in their final days.
Exmouth based Peter Firth took part in the 2013 Men’s Walk raising more than £750 for local charity Hospiscare.
Peter completed the 10k distance with his brother-in-law Shawn, both walking in memory of their mothers who had died within weeks of each other at the Exeter hospice.
Peter said: “In late 2011, I sadly lost both my mother and mother-in-law to cancer. They...
Dean Mumm insists he and his Exeter Chiefs' team-mates have "nothing to lose" ahead of this Sunday's Aviva Premiership encounter with Saracens at Allianz Park (3.15pm). The Australian international was as disappointed as anyone inside Sandy Park last Saturday as the Chiefs were again undone by rivals Bath Rugby in an enthralling Westcountry derby. The narrow 27-23 loss was again another tough pill to swallow for Devon's finest and the 29-year-old forward believes it's vital the Chiefs learn from the experiences if they are to push forward. "It was probably a missed opportunity for us and...
Hoani Tui believes Exeter Chiefs will have to be "on their toes" when they play host to local rivals Bath in the Aviva Premiership this Saturday (3.15pm).
With vital top flight points up for grabs as the season hits a crucial phase, Tui is well aware he and his team-mates can ill afford another slip-up following last week's last-gasp defeat to league leaders Northampton Saints at Sandy Park.
Currently the Chiefs sit in eighth spot, some seven points adrift of the last play-off spot which is currently occupied by Harlequins on 36 points. Bath, on the other hand, are enjoying...
Exeter Chiefs can confirm that Saturday’s Aviva Premiership clash with visiting Bath Rugby is now an official sell-out. The final few tickets for the eagerly-anticipated game, which will kick-off at 3.15pm, were sold early on Monday morning and mean Sandy Park will play host to a crowd of 10,744. Exeter Rugby Club chief executive Tony Rowe OBE said: “We’re delighted to announce another sell-out crowd here at Sandy Park, games between ourselves and Bath are always great occasions and I’ve no doubt this will be no different. “The fact it’s a local derby – and that we still have yet to beat...
Exeter Chiefs lock Romana Graham is to leave the Aviva Premiership club at the end of the season to take up a contract with French club La Rochelle.
The 27-year-old lock, who joined the Chiefs at the start of this season from Super Rugby outfit Waikato Chiefs, has agreed a two-year contract with the Pro D2 side.
To date the Hastings-born forward has featured five times for Rob Baxter's side with all of his appearances having come in Cup competition.
Confirming the arrival of Graham, La Rochelle coach Patrice Collazo said: "Romana is a player that I have followed...
The chance to be wined and dined alongside members of the Exeter Chiefs first team squad certainly proved a smash hit as over 300 females descended on Sandy Park for the latest Ladies Night (Thursday 30 January).
In a fun-filled evening at the home of the Aviva Premiership club, party-goers not only got the chance to be in the company of the Chiefs players for a night, but they were royally entertained with musical performances from both Adam Isaac and Riccardo, as well as getting the chance to dance the night away with Danny’s Disco.
