Bridgwater moved Ash Pippard to full back with Garryn Basson and Sam Knights on the wings and had Roger Drabble back at scrum half. They were also […]

Cullompton, by scoring two tries to nil, deservedly won this fixture to record a double over the Somerset side.  Bridgwater, losing a game by five points or less for the fifth time this season, had to be content with a losing bonus point writes Tony Pomeroy. Bridgwater were badly hit by injuries and unavailability and […]

Match report by Tony Pomeroy. Bridgwater’s regular pack were decimated by injury and non-availability for this trip to Cornwall.  The players who came in could not be faulted for effort but the Camborne pack laid the foundations for this comprehensive victory.  Bridgwater had hoped to complete the double over Camborne this season but were always […]

This was a thrilling game to entertain the large crowd. Yes, there were mistakes made, but the spectacle of eleven tries on a perfect afternoon for rugby made the crowd regret this was Bridgwater’s last home game of the year writes Tony Pomeroy. Bridgwater brought Jon Hill into fullback but the rest of the side […]

MATCH REPORT BY TONY POMEROY:        Bridgwater were hoping to gain points to offset their recent five point deduction for playing an unregistered player in early November.  However, with a somewhat lacklustre performance at Hornets, it was not to be. Bridgwater were missing Ali Blundell and Tayler Buller from the pack, bringing in […]

Both sides were slightly below full strength but we were served up with a match that oozed passion and commitment. Bridgwater started strongly and took an early lead with an angled 40m penalty from […]
