Match report by Tony Pomeroy This was a day Bridgwater players and supporters will want to forget. Clevedon continued their fine, unbeaten run with this comprehensive victory over a very lack-lustre Bridgwater & Albion who lost at home for only the second time this season.Clevedon dominated the game as they outthought, outmuscled and outplayed the […]

Bridgwater travelled up the M5 on a cold and overcast day to take on the current league leaders Cleve. They had not been defeated at home this season and only squandered two wins away so this was always going to be a tough game for third placed Bridgwater. The game was littered with handling errors […]

Match report by Tony Pomeroy The game was played in front of a crowd estimated at about 1500 and they were treated to a passionate encounter. The tension of the local derby seemed to get to the players as mistakes abounded on both sides but the excitement of the afternoon never abated. Bridgwater made only […]

Bridgwater got their season back together with this six try defeat of a plucky Wells side.  In doing so, they crept one point closer to Ivybridge but remain in third place in the league. Bridgwater made a couple of changes after last week’s defeat at Bideford. Nick Francis returned to the wing in place of […]

All good things must come to an end and Bridgwater’s run of eight successive league victories came to a shuddering halt at a very cold Bideford.  The North Devon side looked just that little bit sharper. Bridgwater outscored the home side by three tries to two and created enough chances for at least three more […]

Match report by Tony Pomeroy This was a typical hard fought league game between two fairly even-matched teams. No quarter was given or asked and some of the tackling was of a very high standard. Both sides contributed to a game of seven tries and enjoyed by a large crowd. Bridgwater brought in Garryn Basson […]

On a good day for rugby, Bridgwater extended their winning streak to seven matches as they completed the double over a spirited Thornbury side writes Tony Pomeroy. Two tries for Rob Allen and one a piece for James Martin & Chris Ashwin ensured that there would also be a four try bonus point. With Taylor […]

At the end of the 2013/4 season, league officials decreed that Bridgwater had used an unregistered player in a match against Wadebridge Camels in March. Despite a club appeal – the player was a paid up club member but was on the inactive player list –  we were deducted five match points. As a deduction […]

Match report by Tony Pomeroy  This was a scintillating game of rugby – a ten try fiesta – with Bridgwater taking the spoils and leap-frogging Camborne into third place in the league. This was Bridgwater’s sixth consecutive league victory and the ninth in total in the first half of the season. Bridgwater made only one […]
