A great mornings rugby was held at BARFC today with approximately 250 children playing from 5 different teams. In addition to the Bridgy boys, we had visitors from Chard, Tamworth, Forgeside and Old Coventrians who played teams from our Under 7’s, 8’s, 9’s, 10’s, 11’s & 14’s. With the brilliant weather and atmosphere, it was […]
This game was very much a microcosm of the whole season for Bridgwater. From the Bridgwater viewpoint it was a real ‘curate’s egg’ – parts of it were excellent! Bridgwater brought in Sam Knights at scrum half to replace the unavailable Roger Drabble also restoring James Brakes to the wing and Stu Heal, back from […]
MATCH REPORT BY TONY POMEROY With both teams prepared to throw the ball about, an entertaining game developed. Neither side attempted a penalty kick at goal throughout the game, preferring to go for tries. Bridgwater were missing regular goal-kicker, Stu Heal, who had gone skiing and brought in Steve Ward on the wing. Bridgwater should […]
Congratulations to Ollie Dunn and James Bryant for chalking up their 75th and 350th respective games for Bridgwater & Albion. Well done guys – fantastic achievements!
Match report by Tony Pomeroy With two bonus points earned in this game, Bridgwater are now mathematically safe from possible relegation. However, but for their charity in gifting the home side twenty points, a fourth consecutive win against Thornbury would have been achieved. Bridgwater’s line-up was somewhat experimental, but at this stage of the season […]
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 […]

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 […]
