Right, as it’s a Wednesday night, The Tab says it’s time to get off the internet and get on the lash. Keep your scores coming in and we’ll retweet a few if we can find the button. Other than that, here are some final scores from this afternoon. See you in Timepiece (Legend’s Corner, obviously).

17.55

After we featured the 3rds score, it seems men’s hockey’s 4ths and 5ths wanted to have their say. Wins for both against Bath proves EUMHC has strength right the way through the squad. Good work boyos!

17.35

Men’s hockey have had an unsurprisingly successful afternoon. The 3rds won 6-2 against Chichester 1sts on the water-based astro. Is there anything these boys cannot do?

17.15

We thought they’d been quiet this afternoon: netball 1sts win 57-36 against Gloucestershire 1sts.

16.55

A rugby union result now and the men’s 2nds lost at home on Duckes to Gloucestershire 1sts 17.24.

Meanwhile, men’s lacrosse 1sts drew 6-6 with Bristol in an epic encounter down on the Meadow.

16.45

Men’s rugby league 2nds’ score against Oxford Brookes was 48-6. Decent!

16.25

Results coming in: Women’s badminton won 6-2 against Southampton, men’s football 1sts beat Portsmouth (who wear purple! Yuk!) 3-1, men’s golf 1sts overcame Bournemouth 3.5-2.5. There were also wins for men’s rugby league 2nds and women’s rugby. Those results are a mixture of cup and league fixtures, but it’s wins all round so who cares?!

16.10

Men’s football 2nds beat Southampton Solent 5-0 in the Cup. As Matt Black rightly points out:

Exeter currently sitting in fourth place in the overall Bucs league. Not bad!

16:00

Say whaaaaaat?!

15.45

Results coming into Tab Sport HQ now. A lot of walkovers this afternoon. Men’s rugby, badminton and squash all given automatic wins as the oppo fail to show.

In terms of scorelines, women’s hockey 3rds destroyed Southampton’s 3rds 10-2 on the sand astro earlier today. Home wins also for men’s football 2nds, women’s hockey 2nds and the golfers.

15.30

Hello hello. What’s this? Scouting around for fixture lists on the Bucs website, The Tab stumbled across this little beauty on the homepage. Is that Exeter Hockey Club legend Olly Deasy we spy?

15.15

It looks like an afternoon of success for Exeter’s lacrosse club. The Men’s 1sts are currently drawing 5-5 with Bristol 1sts in a close game at a sunny Duckes Meadows. The women’s 1sts won 12-7 against Bristol at Topsham. Can the blokes match the girls?

15:00

Women’s squash destroyed Bath 1sts 4-0 to remain top of the tree in the Bucs Western 1A division.
