Match report by Tony Pomeroy With two bonus points earned in this game, Bridgwater are now mathematically safe from possible relegation. However, but for their charity in gifting the home side twenty points, a fourth consecutive win against Thornbury would have been achieved. Bridgwater’s line-up was somewhat experimental, but at this stage of the season […]

Match report by Tony Pomeroy Bridgwater will be disappointed by this defeat – or more accurately the manner of the defeat. The visitors looked the better of two tired sides and with this four point win, Hornets remain favourites to win the league.  They are currently in second place, just one point behind St. Austell […]

Match report by Tony Pomeroy On a beautiful day for rugby, with the sea breeze negating the effect of the slope of the pitch, Bridgwater deservedly did the double over the east Devon side.  Bridgwater brought in veteran scrum half, Matt Ranson, for his first 1st XV match for many years.

The club were honoured to receive a visit from RFU President, Bob Reeves at this afternoon’s game against Chard.

St Austell were by far the better side, fully deserving their victory,  but this convincing home win will be remembered for all the wrong reasons writes Tony Pomeroy. The man with most influence on this game was visiting Devon Referee, Zeb Bell. His totally inadequate interpretation of the Laws of the Game frequently frustrated players […]

Match report by Tony Pomeroy (Video to follow Sunday afternoon) Bridgwater players were greeted with champagne from a supporter when they returned to the dressing room after this third consecutive victory.  This first ever league victory over their near neighbours made up in some small way for the late, narrow defeat at Beggars Brook earlier […]
