Exeter’s Sandy Park to host LV=Cup final

Premiership Rugby announced today that the 2013-2014 LV= Cup final will take place at Sandy Park on March 16.
The home of the Exeter Chiefs was the host of some of the 2007 Churchill Cup fixtures as well as the clash between the England Saxons and Irish Wolfhounds last year.
Sandy Park will also stage three fixtures of the upcoming Rugby World Cup in 2015 while the Chiefs count in their ranks the 2013 LV= Breakthrough Player in England U20 star Jack Nowell.
Exeter Chairman & Chief Executive of Exeter Tony Rowe said:  “As a club we are thrilled to have been selected as the venue for the LV= Cup final. Over the years we have hosted a number of top games, not just in the Premiership and in Europe, but also a clutch of international fixtures including the Churchill Cup.
“As rugby supporters know Sandy Park is a great match-day experience and we’ve no doubt that will be evident when the LV= Cup final is held here. We look forward to welcoming all fans to the West Country for what will be the first silverware of the season.”
Head of Sponsorship at LV= Claire Jeromson added:  “It’s really exciting to have the LV= Cup Final at Sandy Park this season. Judging by the success of last year’s final and coupled with the rugby heartland of Exeter, we are looking forward to another strong cup campaign and something the whole rugby family can really enjoy.
“With the likes of Jack Nowell going onto achieve big things, it proves the good health of the domestic game but also highlights the young talent that the LV= Cup gives valuable game time to.”
