Paignton RFC 5, B&A RFC 40 (30/03/13)
With this emphatic win over fellow league strugglers, Paignton Saxons, Bridgwater & Albion celebrated skipper, Dan Kemmish’s 250th game in celebratory style. It also helped to erase the memory of Paignton’s win at Bridgwater early in the season. Paignton, who sacked their coaching staff a couple of weeks ago, were thoroughly outplayed in all aspects […]
Hats off to Albion Skipper Dan Kemmish
Albion’s captain, Dan Kemmish is set to make his 250th appearance in the 1st XV in Saturday’s rearranged game at Paignton and in doing so will achieve a much coveted club cap. Kemmish is in his 10th season with Albion, having learnt his rugby football at Haygrove School before joining Albion Minis and Juniors. […]
B&A RFC 13, Camborne 20 (23/03/13)
Camborne will feel themselves extremely fortunate to have come away from Bridgwater with a narrow victory. Stuart Heal returned to the starting line-up following a training injury to Will Kerry as Bridgwater looked to upset high-flying Camborne. For much of the match, the home side looked likely every bit as good as their rivals and […]
Chard RFC 34, B&A RFC 22 (09/03/13)
After a few scares along the way, Chard exacted revenge for their defeat at Bridgwater earlier in the season. The South Somerset side extended their winning run to five matches as they continued their climb up the table. Bridgwater continue to hover just above the relegation zone and drop one place behind Cleve who had […]

B&A RFC 27, Old Redcliffians 40 (02/03/13)
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 […]
B&A RFC 15, Sidmouth RFC 6 (23/02/13)
Bridgwater gained revenge for a defeat at Sidmouth earlier in the season and in the process denied the seasiders a bonus point. This was Bridgwater’s third four point win in successive weeks and is their best run for some time. Bridgwater welcomed back two players, Ollie Dunn and Roger Drabble, now happily recovered from injuries, […]
Thornbury 14, B&A RFC 15 (16/02/13)
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)
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 […]
