Max Woosey described his night camping with some of his Exeter Chiefs heroes at Sandy Park as simply ‘brilliant’.

The rugby-loving youngster, known to many as ‘The Boy in the Tent’ pitched up on the Sandy Park turf for a special camp-out alongside players and coaches from the club’s men’s and women’s teams.

The 13-year-old has attracted worldwide attention for his amazing fundraising efforts after he started camping out in March 2020 to raise funds for North Devon Hospice.

Three years on and having battled Covid lockdowns, as well as every conceivable weather condition going, Max has to date amassed over £700,000, helping to directly fund 15 nurses for a whole year at the hospice. Recently, Max confirmed that he is set to bring his camping adventure to an end, including one final night out at the Broomhill Estate at Muddiford, near Barnstaple.

However, before packing away his tent and heading back into the comforts of his family home in Braunton, Max also wanted to have a special camp out at his favourite team, the Exeter Chiefs, who were delighted to offer their support.

Joined by school mate Joe West, Max and his dad camped out with Ben Moon, Richard Capstick, Harry Hocking and Fin Richardson from the men’s side, Georgie Grimes and Eden McMahon from the women’s side, as well as forwards coach, Rob Hunter.
