Exeter College Rugby 1st xv have progressed through to the semi finals of the British Colleges Elite Rugby Cup having beaten Worthing College in an entertaining game at Cullompton Rugby Club on Wednesday.

Having been 17-0 down after the first 20 minutes following a poor start, the College side showed their spirit and strength to score with two minutes of time remaining to win 26-25. Man of the match with a hat trick of tries was on form number 8 Will Hodgetts, who also impressed many with his huge performance against Ivybridge the previous week. Other scores came from impressive second row Trae Gosling from a catch and drive try and 3 conversions came from the ever reliable boot of England Colleges fly half George Meadows.

Exeter have been drawn away to SEEVIC, the winners of the South East and London Division. The match will take place at Southend Rugby Club on Wednesday 21st March (3.30pm Kick Off).

It has been another fantastic week for Exeter College Rugby with the news that Winger Linford Brock has been called up into the England Under 18's squad. Brock, who has been training with Plymouth Albion recently, as well as representing Barnstaple 1st xv, has caught the eye of a number of academy managers this season in the AASE League and he goes straight into England's squad for this Sunday's game against the Northampton Saints Academy at Surrey Sports Park (12.30pm Kick Off).

Exeter College Prop Will Norton, Back Row Ben King and Fly Half George Meadows are all due to play for England Colleges this Sunday against Irish Exiles in Cheltenham, which means four players from the 1st xv squad will wear England Jersey's this weekend.

This coming Wednesday (14th March) Exeter travel to play the Sale Sharks apprentices at Myerscough College in the AASE Bowl Semi Fina (3.15pm Kick Off).
