Bridgwater and Albion RFC will be returning to Western Counties (North) league action on Saturday afternoon after an enforced four-week break when they host Gordon League at College Way, kick-off 2pm.
Since Christmas, the Albion have enjoyed a successful run of results, beating Taunton Seconds at home 20-19, which they followed up by beating Old Bristolians away 36-31 before narrowly being beaten at home 28-27 on 31st January by high-flying Clifton Seconds—a game they could so easily have won.
Since then, they have been frustrated by the weather.
This weekend, however, the Albion have the chance to pick up where they left off and carry on with their climb up the league table.
Currently, captain Taylor Buller’s team occupies seventh place in the table, having played 14 matches, of which they have won four and accrued 32 points, while their upcoming opponents Gordon League are one place below them with 31 points from 15 matches and five wins.
When the two sides met in the away fixture back in early November, it was the Gloucester-based side who ran out the 26-22 winners, so the hosts will be looking to level the score with a home victory.
After this weekend’s game, the Albion are due to be in league action every Saturday in March, playing Old Reds away on 7th March, Chosen Hill away on 14th, Gordano at home on 21st, and Chad away on 28th March.
The Albion play their last three league matches in April, hosting Midsomer Norton on 11th, travelling to play at Nailsea and Backwell a week later, before rounding off their season with a home game against current league leaders Dings Crusaders Seconds on April 25th.
In addition to the above league fixtures, there is an outstanding Somerset Cup match against Midsomer Norton to be fitted into the schedule, details of which will be announced when sorted.
Meanwhile, B&ARFC Seconds also return to action on Saturday when they travel away to play at Tor RFC.
As part of their sesquicentenary celebrations, Bridgwater & Albion RFC are holding their 150th Anniversary Dinner in the Clubhouse on Saturday 9th May.
Tickets are priced at £50 each, which includes welcome drinks, a three-course meal, and cheese and biscuits, followed by a live band and entertainment.
Tickets can be obtained by contacting B&ARFC direct and will be sold on a first come, first served basis.
