Burnham RFC 10, B&A RFC 38 (10/11/12)

| 11/04/2013

Looking at the scoreline, one would be forgiven in thinking that Bridgwater dominated this game.  For much of the game this would be correct but the home side had a couple of purple passages in the second half that put the senior side under some pressure. For the second week running, Bridgwater scored six tries […]

With the game brought forward to Friday evening because of the Bridgwater Carnival the teams took to the field to be greeted with a fine firework display from a nearby event. The game itself was also very bright and cheerful and good entertainment for the large crowd. Bridgwater gave a home debut to new prop, Christian […]

Bridgwater and Albion head coach Kevin Innalls was feeling pretty happy when he reflected on his team’s 21-12 victory over Thornbury. “The boys put in a good performance against Thornbury on Saturday and to be honest we probably could have scored more points than we did given all the chances that we had.” “We had […]

B&A RFC 21, Thornbury RFC 12 (20/10/12)

| 11/04/2013

Making a mockery of their respective league positions, Bridgwater totally dominated Thornbury in this game to record their first home win of the season. Some determined defence by the Gloucestershire team restricted Bridgwater to only one try in the second half which was almost completely played within the Thornbury 22. However, whilst the win was […]

Bridgwater and Albion head coach Kevin Innalls cant quite believe the run of bad luck that his side has suffered this season. Reflecting on the match Kevin said: “For the first time this season I felt that we were well and truly beaten on Saturday by Oldfield Old Boys.” “We seem to be so unlucky in […]

Prior to the game, Oldfield celebrated the receipt of the RFU Accreditation Award and they carried their celebrations on to the pitch. The home side, out-muscled the Bridgwater side and thoroughly deserved their bonus point victory which took them above Bridgwater at the lower end of the league table. Bridgwater once again looked very lacklustre […]

Head coach Kevin Innalls made no excuses for the way that his team played on Saturday when they were beaten 24-14 by Paignton at Bath Road. Reflecting on the game Kevin said: “We put in a very poor performance on Saturday. I thought that we were out muscled by a more physical side, we were […]

| 11/04/2013

In a game littered with stoppages and lasting almost two hours from kick off to the final whistle, Paignton bounced back from last week’s home defeat and produced yet another home defeat for Bridgwater. Bridgwater were missing the suspended Garryn Basson but welcomed back Matt House, Nick Spellissy and Chris Webber and, in an effort […]

Bridgwater and Albion head coach Kevin Innalls was far from despondent when he reflected on the game at Sidmouth on Saturday. “Some of our defending was very poor and certainly not up to the standard that we expect. We gave them too much of a head start in the early part of the game.” “I always felt […]
