Bridgwater managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in this pulsating game in Bristol writes Tony Pomeroy. Bridgwater were severely handicapped throughout the game as referee, Andy Miller of the Bristol Society, seemed to take a grave dislike to their play. The home side won the penalty count 13-3 and the free kicks […]
Match report by Tony Pomeroy Bridgwater’s dominant pack laid a solid foundation for this comfortable victory. They won at least three scrums against the head, were secure in the lines-out, with Dan Kemmish and his cohorts reigning supreme, and very strong in the loose. However, thanks to a registration indiscretion at the end of last […]
Despite this pointless defeat, Bridgwater made the return trip form Cornwall with their collective and individual heads held high writes Tony Pomeroy. Last season, St Austell were in the promotion chase whilst Bridgwater were somewhat lower in the table but on the evidence of this match, the positions could be reversed this time. Bridgwater’s nemesis […]

Having said that, the Bridgwater players stuck manfully to their task, scoring four tries. In the first minute, Blackwood lost possession in midfield. Bridgwater hacked on the […]

This game was very much a microcosm of the whole season for Bridgwater. From the Bridgwater viewpoint it was a real ‘curate’s egg’ – parts of it were excellent! Bridgwater brought in Sam Knights at scrum half to replace the unavailable Roger Drabble also restoring James Brakes to the wing and Stu Heal, back from […]
MATCH REPORT BY TONY POMEROY With both teams prepared to throw the ball about, an entertaining game developed. Neither side attempted a penalty kick at goal throughout the game, preferring to go for tries. Bridgwater were missing regular goal-kicker, Stu Heal, who had gone skiing and brought in Steve Ward on the wing. Bridgwater should […]
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 […]
