Simply looking at the score, it is easy to imagine that this was a hammering for Bridgwater. This, however, is far from the truth. Just before half time, Bridgwater were 8-17 in the lead. This was reduced to 13-17 at the break and with fifteen minutes to go, Bridgwater were still in touch at 27-17. […]

Camborne cemented their place at the top of the league with this display at Bridgwater. The game was closer than the final score suggests as Bridgwater had parity for much of the game with their Cornish visitors at scrum, line out and ruck. Camborne made the most of their chances, benefitting from a certain amount […]
Match report by Tony Pomeroy Clevedon looked by far the better side in this re-arranged league game played under floodlights on Friday March 11th. Any lingering doubts the visiting side had regarding relegation should have been assuaged as they are now eight points clear of relegation with a game in hand. In a match played […]
Report by Tony Pomeroy After the debacle of the defeat at Chard, Bridgwater looked much more like their old selves for much of this hard-fought encounter.

MATCH REPORT BY TONY POMEROY Bridgwater returned to winning ways after two consecutive defeats and in the process obtained a rare four-try bonus point, thus keeping alive their slim hopes of a league play-off spot. With this win, Bridgwater remain in fourth place in the league but they have narrowed the gap on the teams […]
Match Report by Tony Pomeroy Bridgwater and Albion hopes of a play-off place sank into the mud at Newent. The Gloucester side – who looked to be a solid unit – were much more streetwise than the Somerset outfit and deserved their bonus point victory. Bridgwater’s backs had a couple of positional changes with Chris […]
