While the result in Denmark was disappointing, there are still positives to take from the game. Denmark deserved to win, and they are a level above where Northern Ireland currently are. But it is where Michael O’Neill wants his team to be, and it was another good learning experience for his young squad. Defensively, particularly...
It has been a couple of weeks since the County Council elections and things are starting to get back into a routine.  Exeter city councillors will of course work collaboratively with county councillors to resolve issues which are the responsibility of the county council and impact on our city. We hope that by working together...
