Withycombe will be bidding a fond farewell to lock Jon Axon at the end of the season after he announced his retirement. Axon, 42, made the announcement after Withycombe's RFU Senior Vase exit at Bromley last Saturday. The 6ft 6ins forward has retired before, but this time it seems he means it. Nigel Symons, a former teammate of Axon's and now director of rugby at Raleigh Park, said the home game against Bodmin on April 18 will be his last. "I know Jon would have liked to go out at Twickenham,...

Teignmouth coach Simon Morrell says his promotion-winning team have some unfinished business against Okehampton on Saturday. The Teigns are already assured of promotion as champions as second-placed Kingsbridge can't catch them in the last two games. Promotion was secured when Exeter University, who were second, had 50 points deducted over a fall-out with league managers concerning who was eligible to play for them. The row between the university and the league rumbled on for nearly three months...

Cullompton have two home games to play out in South West One West before they drop down next season – and head coach Chris Wall is already eyeing the Mid Devon derbies ahead.

However, he is already planning for next term, when Cully will be looking to bounce back up from Western Counties West at the first attempt. They already know...

How good was that then? An emphatic 48-13 win over Newcastle Falcons has booked Exeter Chiefs a historic first ever European Challenge Cup semi-final. Our opposition on that day will be Gloucester's Cherry & Whites who, coincidentally, were our opponents on that memorable day when Exeter first entered Premiership rugby. One suspects Thomas 'The Tank' Waldrom's score following that sublime pass from Dave Ewers will be replayed again and again as one of Exeter's great tries of the 2015...

Exmouth head for Redingensians on Saturday for what should be a high-octane occasion. Redingensians are top of the table and Exmouth are only four points behind them with two games and 10 points to play for. Both know they can't miss being in the promotion play-offs – and one of them will be going up automatically as champions. Redingensians will be up if they win. An Exmouth victory will mean the title and automatic promotion will rest on the final round of fixtures a week on...

Murat Gonaydin said he believed a woman who saw him touching himself twice near the Great Western Canal at Burlescombe may have gone there to see him. He said she had brushed against him after seeing him relieving himself on an earlier occasion and thought she may be interested in a date when he saw her at exactly the same spot a week later. He denied being the...
