BRIDPORT RFC enjoyed a busy weekend at the Brewery Ground with four events over two days.

Saturday started with a visit from an under-14s side from Okehampton touring the area with a couple of games.

Watched by an enthusiastic group of parents, both teams put on an entertaining display of running rugby with the Bridport juniors winning 5-2 on tries.

After their departure, the clubhouse was readied for the annual vice-presidents lunch and 60-plus guests, vice presidents and their partners enjoyed a four-course lunch in a convivial atmosphere with members of the under-15s serving on tables.

At 3pm, guests watched a President’s XV against a Chairman’s XV organised by Charlie Samways who had got together about 40 current and past players.

In an entertaining game, sympathetically refereed by club referee Louis Brown, the President’s XV ran out comfortable 33-12 winners.

Both teams retired to the clubhouse to continue the festivities into the early evening.

Sunday morning, as well as three junior games, saw the final play-off of the Dorset & Wiltshire Under-15s Championship.

This involved Bridport’s under-15s playing in the first half of the season teams in the south of the region, as did the Wiltshire sides.

Bridport where unbeaten in the first half of the season and then faced off against the top three teams from Wiltshire getting through to the final against Supermarine from Swindon.

Played on a very heavy pitch, the match was watched by a large group of parents who were very vocal in support of their respective offspring.

In a very even first half neither side could break the deadlock but it was becoming increasingly obvious that the Supermarine forwards were gaining supremacy in the tight and set-pieces and had one superb driving maul which took them from just outside the 22 to the try-line being held up at the death by the Bridport defence.

Bridport had a chance in the closing minutes of the first half when the backs spun the ball wide in the 22, only for the final pass to be knocked with a score almost certain.

The pitch in the second half was now getting heavier and the greasy ball was causing Bridport to make too many unforced errors.

The bigger Supermarine forwards were now making their presence felt, punching holes in the Bridport defence who were powerless to stop them scoring two converted tries to win 14-0.

Both teams and parents retired to the clubhouse for food and sustenance and the final act by the Supermarine team before departing, embodying the true spirit of community rugby, was a rousing rendition of ‘We’re all going up Sunshine Mountain’.
