The Blue Ball Exeter

📃We'll try to make it three from three tomorrow when Teignmouth come to town. Will Mead will start for the first time ever and Finn Mack earns a deserved debut off the bench after impressing in the 2s for awhile now. Erin Inglis starts for the first time since our cup final win against Sidmouth whilst Raf Zappia replaces Robin Edbrooke at number eight. There's just the one change in the back line which scored all seven of our tries last week, James Mattin comes in for Dec Hadley who'll start on the bench. Its also a big day for fly half Lewis Webb who will make his 50th appearance when he runs out at 3 o'clock.

🍎🍏 JUICY APPLE 🍏🍎

Thatchers Juicy Apple 4%

Made with 100% eating apples.

As the latest cider to join the Thatchers range, Juicy Apple tastes just as the name sounds; it’s that feeling of biting into a crisp, juicy apple with sweetness bursting through!

The fresh new flavour is powered by sunshine. Made using 100% renewable electricity, including power generated from the 3,500 solar panels at Myrtle Farm, Somerset, it’s as good for the environment as it tastes in the glass.

Happily, Appley, Sun Drenched, Juicy Cider

🍻Come on down and try this delicious product🍻

Something new is coming to the Blue Ball! Can you guess what it is? 🤪🍎🍏

Stay tuned 🤫

End of an era ! There aren’t many people like this man ! Since the moment he started working here he has constantly blown me away. His passion, graft and amazing sense of humour are always on show and he will be missed by us all ! Good luck in Spain 🇪🇸 and thankyou Robert Roppanto aka Gino 🙏
