Westcountry Cup tickets on sale

By Mark Stevens

Exeter Chiefs have today put on sale tickets for their two home encounters in this season's Westcountry Challenge Cup.

Due to the Rugby World Cup taking place, Rob Baxter's side will kick-off their campaign at a slightly later date than normal - and have chosen Westcountry opposition for their four warm-up games ahead of the 2015/16 campaign.

The Chiefs, together with local rivals Bath and Gloucester, have come together to form a three-team tournament that will offer the clubs top quality pre-season opposition. The newly-created tournament, which will run during weekends in both September and October, will see the three teams tackle one another in home and away fixtures.

The Chiefs will kick-off against Gloucester at Sandy Park on Saturday, September 5 with a 4:30pm kick-off, before they play host to Bath on Saturday, September 19 (3pm).

Baxter's squad will then make the trip to the Memorial Stadium in Bristol on Saturday, October 3 (3pm) before visiting the Recreation Ground in Bath a week later (Saturday, October 10) with a 5:45pm kick-off

Exeter Chiefs will officially kick-off their Aviva Premiership season on Saturday, October 17 - ironically away to Bath - with a 2pm kick-off.

Tickets for the Sandy Park fixtures can be purchased online by clicking here or via the Trading Post, which is open Monday to Friday from 9:30am to 4:30pm. Please note West Grandstand tickets are not available to purchase at this time.
