Moseley 32-24 Exeter Chiefs

Ed Lewsey
Exeter's Ed Lewsey scored two tries, but it was not enough to win

Moseley upset Exeter Chiefs to reach the EDF National Trophy final at Twickenham and dent their visitors' promotion hopes in the process.

Moseley led the double header 25-12 at the break as tries from Tom Johnson and Ed Lewsey kept the Chiefs in touch.

Lewsey got his second try after the restart but Moseley replied promptly through Terry Sickley to go 32-17 up.

Danny Gray gained a bonus point with Exeter's fourth try in the 13th minute of stoppage time but it was not enough.


Exeter Chiefs director of rugby Pete Drewett told BBC Radio Devon:

"On today's performance we weren't good enough and Moseley thoroughly deserved to win.

"We're going to have to get maximum points from the last few games and hope some other sides do us a favour.

"It just shows that if you want to win things you've got to be 100% accurate and at your best at all time."
