Youth tickets just £5 and free Kids’ Zone for Bristol cup game

Young rugby fans can watch Exeter Chiefs take on Bristol Bears in the PREM Rugby Cup for just £5.

These tickets have been set at a special price for U18s while adult pricing starts at £16.50. Young people will also be given free access to the River Dart Country Park Kids’ Zone, which can be found behind the Inch’s Stand, usually worth £10 per entry. The Kids’ Zone opens two hours before kick-off.

Saturday’s fixture (KO 15:00) marks the start of Chiefs’ cup campaign after a bye week last weekend. They will also play Bath, Gloucester and Sale Sharks in this year’s competition with the semi-finals due to take place on the weekend of 6 March.

The Prem Rugby Cup is played while international players are being rested or away on international duty so gives wider squad and younger players the chance to take their chance and impress in a Chiefs jersey.

Last season, young players Ollie Batson, Ethan Burger, Campbell Ridl and Finn Worley Brady all made their breakthroughs in cup games.

Chiefs’ director of rugby Rob Baxter said: “The Prem Rugby Cup is a real opportunity to see Chiefs players of the future in action. They gain valuable experience by lining up alongside some of our older heads and playing against quality opposition. The calibre of the young players who made the breakthrough last season is clear to see and we look forward to seeing more of the same, and our experienced players, as we begin our cup campaign this weekend.”
