LAST Saturday, June 21, a group of 25 cyclists rode 67 miles from Saunton Sands beach to Exmouth Rugby Club in aid of the British Heart Foundation.
The coast to coast cycle event was held as part of Exeter Chiefs captain Jack Yeandle's Testimonial Year, with Jack cycling alongside former teammates Phil Dollman, Ben Moon and Kai Horstmann, as well as members of the Exeter Chiefs Cycling Club and other keen riders.


The route included stops at South Molton Rugby Club and Crediton Rugby Club, with a second group of cyclists joining the ride from Crediton to Exmouth.
It was at Crediton Rugby Club where Jack started his playing career.
The fundraising total currently stands at over £6,500 with donations still coming in.

During the 2024/25 season Jack is celebrating his testimonial year, having played for the Exeter Chiefs for over 10 years.


Jack chose the charity after losing his best friend to a cardiac arrest over 10 years ago.
The finale of Yenz’s Year will be at Crediton Rugby Club on Saturday, July 5.
Rugby Rush will be a fast-paced, exciting day of rugby featuring professional players past and present, male and female, and some celebrity star dust mixed in.
Team Captains include Exeter Chiefs stars Jack Yeandle, Jack Nowell, Dave Ewers and Ethan Roots, former England internationals Matt Banahan and Steffon Armitage, and women's players and ambassadors, Lagi Tuima and Jemma Dymond.

This will be a brilliant day out for individuals or with friends or family.
It will run from 12 noon until 10pm and include a festival of touch rugby with past and present professional players together with non-playing team mates, with both men and women on teams.
