Bridgwater second team arrived at College Way and prepped themselves for their first game in three weeks after having a break for the Somerset Cup weekend and after a cancelled fixture away to Wyvern. Subsequently, this fixture has been penciled in for 6th February, coincidentally a week before the two sides play each other in Bridgwater. […]
BY TONY POMEROY This was a good old-fashioned slog in the mud and one where it became impossible to distinguish between the teams in the final quarter. Wells dominated possession and territory but with one early exception, could not break down a resolute Bridgwater defence as the visitors, in an almost perfect defensive display, put […]
Players from the mid-1970’s to early 1980’s will be sad to have learned of the death of Ken (Kenny) Walker who sadly passed away recently after a short illness. Ken started out his rugby football career at Burnham-on-Sea where he turned in some useful performances in the second row. Living in Bridgwater, he then threw in […]
Somerset Cup – Quarter Final Match report by Tony Pomeroy Cup holders, Hornets, maintained their grip on the trophy with this hard-fought win over Bridgwater & Albion. Scoring six tries to Bridgwater’s three, Hornets were good value for their victory. Both sides selected weakened sides, keeping some 1st XV regulars on the bench. Regular Bridgwater […]
Bridgwater had the burden of expectation in their recent home encounter with Castle Cary. Unbeaten at the top of the table with home advantage, it was Bridgwater’s game to lose against 13th placed Cary. However, Cary have proven themselves more than capable in recent seasons and have become somewhat of a ‘bogey’ team for Bridgwater […]

Bridgwater just lost out in a highly competitive and entertaining game that went down to the wire. The home side were on fire from the kick off, spending the first 10 minutes camped in sight of the visitors line when the latter knocked on five meteres out. Following a scrum plus four re-sets, No.8 Lewis […]
Following last weeks Close encounter at Home to Minehead Colts, which Bridgwater & Albion Colts just edged 34-32, Bridgwater again squandered a commanding first half performance, to allow Saturdays hosts Frampton Cotterell Colts to snatch a 12-12 draw in the bright and hot sunshine. Frampton kicked off and a clean Bridgwater take and kick immediately them […]
Hold on tight….. It’s a George Sluman special!!! If I were a betting man, I would have put money on the encounter between 1st placed Bridgwater 2s and 3rd placed Imperial being a tight affair. Instead, Bridgwater produced their best performance of the season so far and comfortably beat the visitors to College Way by […]
Match report by Tony Pomeroy Bridgwater continued their unbeaten start to the season with this very hard-fought victory in the Forest of Dean.
