Oldfield OB 39, B&A RFC 5 (13/10/12)

| 11/04/2013

Prior to the game, Oldfield celebrated the receipt of the RFU Accreditation Award and they carried their celebrations on to the pitch. The home side, out-muscled the Bridgwater side and thoroughly deserved their bonus point victory which took them above Bridgwater at the lower end of the league table. Bridgwater once again looked very lacklustre […]

Head coach Kevin Innalls made no excuses for the way that his team played on Saturday when they were beaten 24-14 by Paignton at Bath Road. Reflecting on the game Kevin said: “We put in a very poor performance on Saturday. I thought that we were out muscled by a more physical side, we were […]

In a game littered with stoppages and lasting almost two hours from kick off to the final whistle, Paignton bounced back from last week’s home defeat and produced yet another home defeat for Bridgwater. Bridgwater were missing the suspended Garryn Basson but welcomed back Matt House, Nick Spellissy and Chris Webber and, in an effort […]

Bridgwater and Albion head coach Kevin Innalls was far from despondent when he reflected on the game at Sidmouth on Saturday. “Some of our defending was very poor and certainly not up to the standard that we expect. We gave them too much of a head start in the early part of the game.” “I always felt […]

Bridgwater & Albion, having had an exemplary discipline record for the first four matches of the season, somehow ended this match with only thirteen players as both Roger Drabble and Garryn Basson were given red cards by Devon referee, Ben Chadwick, in the final ten minutes of the game. With disciplinary hearings to be held in […]

This was a game that Bridgwater would have targeted as a home win but it was not to be as the Cornish side generally out-muscled the Somerset side. Bridgwater lost a number of scrums against the head and could not cope with Wadebridge throwing to the tail of the line-out, where the visitors reigned supreme. […]

Having led from the ninth minute of the game, Bridgwater managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when, deep into injury time, an abysmal attempted clearing kick, from the normally reliable Dominik Griffin, from their own 22 went straight up in the air.     Visiting skipper, James Carter, used his height to jump […]

Bathed in sunlight, the North Dorset pitch looked to be an excellent surface on which to play rugby. Bridgwater certainly enjoyed it as they romped to their first away win for some time.   Bridgwater & Albion bounced back from their unexpected home defeat last week to take maximum points from their visit to newly-promoted […]

Any spectator hoping for a good game to start the league season would have been very disappointed with the fare on offer. The game was littered with handling errors and missed tackles. The tackle area was a complete shambles – for which the referee must accept some blame – as he should for making what […]
