Line 26: ''Exeter Centurions'' were formed by Basingstoke Beasts founder Joe Catcheside. They joined the newly formed South West Division of the [[Rugby League Conference]] in 2007. In their first two seasons, Exeter only won one match.[<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/8185901.stm].</ref> Exeter co-hosted the 2009 South West Nines competition and reached the final before losing to Exeter University at Duckes Meadow. In the regular season, the club's performance improved significantly, finishing in third in the league and reaching the SW Cup Final, which they lost against [[East Devon Eagles]] at Plymouth Albion's [[The Brickfields\|Brickfields]] ground. The club continued to improve in 2010, opening with a record 5 game winning sequence before falling to a last gasp defeat in the cup quarter- final against [[Devon Sharks]] in [[Torquay]]. The club lost only two league fixtures, but again missed out on the Grand Final after a narrow defeat to the Eagles. Centurions went on to represent the South West Conference in the National competition, losing a close game against [[Neath Port Talbot Steelers]]. Once again, Centurions lost the South West Nines final to the Exeter University team. 2011 proved a disappointing season, after the loss of influential players Brent Ryan and Alex Stevens. The club suffered several narrow defeats, including an extra-time loss in the cup semi-final against [[Plymouth Titans]], and finished only sixth in the league, is worst performance for three years.
