Match report by Tony Pomeroy This was a typical hard fought league game between two fairly even-matched teams. No quarter was given or asked and some of the tackling was of a very high standard. Both sides contributed to a game of seven tries and enjoyed by a large crowd. Bridgwater brought in Garryn Basson […]
