Me And My Club - Ann Strong

In the latest in our collection of features where we quiz colleagues about their love for our partner clubs, it’s time to check out the Exeter Chiefs.

Over to Ann Strong, Group Sales Administrator at Vertu Volvo Exeter...

How long have you supported Exeter Chiefs? 

Around nine or ten years

Why do you support Exeter Chiefs?

They are my local Premiership team

When was your first game? 

Chiefs v Bath, around 2015

What is your most memorable moment?

Winning the double of Premiership and European Rugby Champions Cup back in 2020

What was your worst moment? 

Watching the 2018 Premiership Final when we lost to Saracens

Who is your favourite player to have pulled on the shirt? 

Jack Nowell

Who is the player, or which is the match, you wish you’d been able to see in person?

The Double win in 2020 as the pandemic meant it was played behind closed doors

What is the best thing about supporting Exeter Chiefs? 

It really is a family club

Which rivalry do you enjoy the most? 

Bath 

If you could only ever win one more competition, what would it be and why?

I wish we could replay the Premiership Final mentioned above, as we’d ended the season eight points clear in the table, but lost the title in that one game

How proud do you feel to have professional links to the team via Vertu Motors?

Immensely proud! In fact, as I watched the Chiefs v Bristol Bears games, one of the opening shots on camera was the Vertu brand advertisement on top of the stand! And I thought� I’m part of that company!
