B&A RFC 36, North Dorset RFC 16 (15/12/12)

B&A RFC 36, North Dorset RFC 16 (15/12/12)

| 11/04/2013

In front of a large crowd, by completing the double over league newcomers, North Dorset, Bridgwater have finally climbed out of the relegation zone. Bridgwater started with Ollie Dunn in the centre with Will Kerry dropping to the bench, Roger Drabble came back at scrum half with Dominik Griffin moving out to no 10. Matt […]

Clevedon 8, B&A RFC 3 (8/12/12)

| 11/04/2013

This was another game that Bridgwater could, and perhaps should, have won. Yet again Bridgwater had more than their fair share of possession and territory but could not turn them into points.  One of the main failings was the seemingly aimless kicking either downfield or, even worse, directly into touch. The frustration of the travelling […]

Bridgwater’s almost total domination of territory and possession was not reflected in the scoreline.   Despite all the recent rain, the pitch was in reasonable condition and stood up very well for the whole 80 minutes. Bridgwater brought in Sam Russell at No 6 with skipper, Dan Kemmish, moving to No 8. Ollie Dunn moved […]

This was a game full of incident. We had one potentially very serious injury to Rob Allen when he collided head first with a goal post in attempting to prevent the first Camborne try. The game was held up for 38 minutes whilst he received treatment on the field and was then taken to Treliske […]

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 […]

Old Redcliffians continued where they left off against North Petherton last week with this six try demolition of Bridgwater & Albion. Bridgwater gave a debut to Barbadian International prop, Christian Preece and brought back Rob Allen after a long injury break. Apart from Doug Page-Symonds starting in the second row, the rest of the team […]

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 […]
