Season Launch Picture Special

By Mark Stevens

The Exeter Chiefs faithful turned out in force as the club opened up the Sandy Park gates for their new Season Lift-Off.

With less than a month to go before Rob Baxter's side prepare for their opening pre-season fixture away to the Scarlets, the Chiefs family were able to get up close and personal with all their favourite players ahead of the big kick-off.

Alongside seasoned Exeter stars, newcomers Don Armand, Greg Bateman, Tom James, Dave Lewis and Ceri Sweeney were all in attendance to meet with supporters at the free event.

As well as the grand launch of all Exeter's new playing strips, supporters were able to take part in the club's Skills Challenge, pose for pictures, get autographs, sign up for the Supporters Clubs, as well as lend their voice to Steve Knightley's new club song.

Thanks also to the Puffins Childcare Crew, who carried out face painting, lucky dip and other children's activities, proceeds of which are to go to the Exeter Foundation.

Also taking place during the course of the night was the club's Corporate Tag competition, which was eventually won by David Lloyd Leisure ahead of Mole Valley Farmers.
