KINGSBRIDGE 23 points EXETER SARACENS 12 KINGSBRIDGE finally produced the performance and the result that they and their supporters have been waiting for on Saturday as they overcame Exeter Saracens to produce their first home win of the season. With a team that actually looked more balanced, Kingsbridge enjoyed an excellent first half where they [...]

WELLINGTON 34-13 KINGSBRIDGE The game kicked-off and Kingsbridge conceded four tries in the first half because they forget that when you play rugby you have to push in scrums, jump and catch the ball in the lineout, tackle the opposition players, chase kicks, and hit rucks….etc….etc. Matt Barlow kicked one penalty to make the score [...]

KINGSBRIDGE 22 points OKEHAMPTON 33 Another battling display from the Blue and Whites at High House on Saturday but it wasn’t enough to prevent them from bowing out of the Devon Intermediate Cup at the first round stage. This was Okehampton’s second visit of the season to Kingsbridge following their 27-33 victory in the league [...]

KINGSBRIDGE 7 points NORTH PETHERTON 21 For the second time in three weeks Kingsbridge entertained the league leaders at High House. Two weeks ago they endured a narrow one point loss to Bideford and last Saturday it was a two try to one defeat by Somerset side North Petherton. The hosts had managed to stay [...]

BUDE 36 points KINGSBRIDGE 12 After last weeks fantastic display against league leaders Bideford, hopes would have been high for an emergence of the ‘Blue & Whites’ league recovery as Kingsbridge travelled to face Bude on Saturday. The hosts were one place above Kingsbridge in the table prior to the match so Kingsbridge would have [...]

KINGSBRIDGE 25 points BIDEFORD 26 Results can be so cruel sometimes and this was probably one of the worst to hit Kingsbridge’s struggling 1st XV. This was undoubtedly the Blue and Whites best performance by far this season and against the unbeaten league leaders at High House on Saturday. After coming from behind to take [...]

TRURO 31 points KINGSBRIDGE 10 Two late tries condemned Kingsbridge to their fifth league loss of the season when they travelled to face Truro on Saturday. Despite holding a 5-7 half time lead, courtesy of a Jack Cope try and a Matt Barlow conversion, the visitors were unable to prevent the hosts from overturning the [...]

KINGSBRIDGE 22 points TORQUAY 30 Kingsbridge came up just short of causing an upset on Saturday when they entertained high flying Torquay at sundrenched High House on Saturday in the Western Counties (West) league. Cheered on by a large contingent of past players, who had been enjoying their annual lunch and get together at the [...]

TIVERTON 24 points KINGSBRIDGE 27 A converted try with one minute remaining on the clock saw Kingsbridge finally record their first league victory of the season on Saturday when they travelled to East Devon to face Tiverton. Last weekend they had lost the match, to St Ives, in the dying minutes whereas on this occasion [...]

It was again Kingsbridge’s high penalty count that cost them dear as a kick three minutes from time saw St Ives snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and deprive the Blue and Whites of what would have been their first league victory of the season.
