Simon reflects………

The Albion have won two of the games, beating Newent at home 20-15 and Teignmouth away 40-22, […]

“Back to basics” pays off

“Back to basics” pays off

| 29/01/2017

BRIDGWATER & Albion went “back to the basics” at Teignmouth in South West One (W) on Saturday – and it paid off handsomely. Albion romped to a 40-22 victory in Devon following a poor display the previous weekend at home to Okehampton. “There were not a lot of positives to take from the game against […]

BARFC 2nds 10, Old Reds 2nds 26 (28/01/17)

| 28/01/2017

Despite having more possession, the Bridgy 2nds could convert this to a win. Some poor handling and decision making saw opportunities squandered whilst virtually everytime Old Reds visited our 22, they scored. Unlucky guys – on another day this could have been our victory.

BARFC 17, Okehampton 35 (21/01/17)

| 21/01/2017

BRIDGWATER were made to pay for their worst display of the season against an Okehampton side who leapt over their rivals in the table. Bridgwater were looking for a response after their narrow defeat by North Petherton the previous weekend and at half time there were only four points in it with the visitors leading. […]
