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. [nggallery id=88]  With Bridgwater […]

The club were honoured to receive a visit from RFU President, Bob Reeves at this afternoon’s game against Chard. However the pressure was truly applied when he announced to a sponsors and former players luncheon before the game that he ‘had been to many games this year and had never failed to see the home […]

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 […]

On a pitch that by the end resembled a paddy field, both teams served up an enthralling encounter. Heavy rain at lunch time turned the ground into a quagmire but both teams stuck to their task and Bridgwater will be grateful for the second four point win in succession. However, there was a downside. Just before half time […]

Match report by Tony Pomeroy This was not so much a game of two halves as a game of four seasons. The match started in light rain which gradually increased in intensity.  Just before half time we were treated to thunder and lightning and a gale force wind combined with driving rain and hail.  The […]
