Conditions were perfect for Rugby in this afternoons match at College Way for what was always going to be a very tough match for the home side. Bridgwater & Albion did very well to come away with a 4-try bonus point and put to bed memories of the 44-5 defeat suffered at the hands of […]

Thornbury 14, B&A RFC 15 (16/02/13)

| 11/04/2013

Even the Thornbury supporters agreed after the game that Bridgwater were the better side and deserved their victory.  However, as the score suggests, it was very tight. The downside of the victory was seeing Nick Francis taken to hospital by ambulance following a heavy tackle in which he was dumped to the floor. His hand […]

B&A RFC 17, Oldfield Old Boys 13 (09/02/13)

| 11/04/2013

This narrow win for Bridgwater took the home side two places up the table and out of the relegation zone. Bridgwater dominated much of the territory and should, perhaps, have scored more than three tries. One of their failings was to play expansive rugby too near their own defensive zone.  The home side gave league […]

YOUTH SECTION: U14’s Somerset Cup – BARFC 5, Bath 31 (03/02/13)

| 11/04/2013

This twice postponed match was eventually played on a cold and cloudy morning. In the first half, Bath dominated much of the play. The visitors seemed better organised and ran well with the ball in hand and built up an early 21-0 lead through three converted tries.  Bridgwater scrapped hard and defended quite well close […]

B&A RFC 10, Weston RFC 54 (01/02/13)

| 11/04/2013

Somerset Cup Quarter Final A new-looking Bridgwater side could make no impression on a Weston side who looked every bit as good as their exalted league position suggests. Weston dominated the game up front as a new look home front row, including new prop, Lovejoy, were under pressure. Another debutant was winger Joel Clark who […]
