"Saxons are at home"
Clevedon Saxons take on Old Sulians down at The Vale for a 14:30 kick off.
This is the only senior game for Cleveon this weekend as the first team game was called off by Avon due to their soggy pitch.
Cavan Tour 2025
29th November 2024
"Cavan Rugby Tour 2025"
We are looking for expressions of Interest in a senior club tour to Cavan.
Twenty four years on from our last official Clevedon RFC tour, we are looking to return to Ireland.
Thanks to a club member's connections we have the opportunity to be hosted by Cavan RFC and we are looking to combine a pre-Season tour match and a Vets/Social game.
Open to any club member over the age of 18 on departure, we will be looking to tour over the weekend of the 9th or 16th of August 2025.
Like all great rugby tours there will be club socials to help fund raise and loads for us to do once we are there. As well as the rugby, there are 17 pubs in the town. We could look to take in a GAA game Breffni Park (depending on fixtures) or try Fishing in one of the 365 lakes.
At this point, we are gauging interest to find out whether you are wanting to travel as a player, help organise or just to be a tourist. Please express an interest by requesting to join the Whatsapp group here.

Weekend Update
20th November 2024
"Seconds are at home"
Originally, the seconds were playing Bristol Telephones in the Somerset Vase. They were given a walkover and now play Midsomer Norton seconds instead in this rearranged league match. They progress to the semi-final and will play the winners of Yeovil/Wincanton game.
The first team Bristol Combination Vase game against league rivals Imperial, has been postponed and is rescheduled for the 21st December at 14:30. The game will be a double header with both league points and a semi-final place up for grabs.
Clevedon 36 Chew Valley II 15

"A different performance"
With Clevedon fielding a few vets alongside the young'uns, they overcame a good Chew Valley second string with some great rugby.
Good defence restricted Chew to three tries that were scored through their backs. In the end though, Clevedon scored six tries and ended up comfortable winners with the old boys doing their bit.
Next week is supposed to be a cup week for the seconds against Bristol Telephones and for the firsts against Imperial. There is some doubt that these fixtures will be played then, but all will become clearer during the next week. Please check back for an update.

"Away day blues"
The trip to Oldfield near Bath was a hour long at least, but did include a picturesque drive over the toll bridge and past Bathamptom Mill.
That was as far as the good stuff went as the game was played in a grey old fug and wasn't the spectacle, from a Clevedon perspective, that the birthday boy was expecting. The minutes silence for Remembrance was a brief respite in the gloom and the game kicked off with Clevedon in confident mood.
Unfortunately, it was one of those games (again!) that is difficult to explain, performanace wise, unless you start trotting out the same, same old excuses, which I'm not!
I'm sure the "learnings!😉" will help this week when Clevedon are at home to Chew Valley II for a 14:30 kick off.
The seconds are away to Chew Valley III also for a 14:30 kick off.

The Rise Of The She Wolves
6th November 2024
"Clevedon Kit Finds New Life In Uganda !"
For many years now we have been supplying old kit to Uganda and to the Elgon Wolves and now the She Wolves, this is a great way of supporting these teams and when we get to see how they are progressing it really makes it all worth while. Check out the link below for the full report and more pictures !
The She Wolves, a womens rugby team based in Mbale, Uganda, have quickly become a force in the rugby community.
Established in 2019, the team is the sister team to Elgon Wolves, and it operates from the Eastern region of Uganda. Rugby was first introduced to Mbale by white settlers as tag rugby, with early coaching support from Coach Fortunate, who began training children.
In 2020, the region saw the formation of an academy aimed at developing young rugby talent, led by Madam Penina and Coach Anguma Stephen. Coach Anguma, affiliated with the Uganda Rugby Union (URU), played a crucial role in spotting and nurturing talent.
Noticing potential in the girls, many of whom had previously played netball in Bugema barracks, he encouraged them to shift to rugby, hoping they would one day join the national team.

"Forget the Analogy!"
Forget last week's silly analogy to describe a lacklustre performance from Clevedon down at Minehead.
This was a proper game of local derby rugby against the Nailsea & Backwell second string, a club we were playing at first team level before "The Relegation".
We had family connections on either side. The Giltrow brothers were up against each in the pack, with our Gilly coming out on top in the try scoring (five of) stakes!
They continued their head to head in the after match racing pint, MOTM awards, which our Gilly narrowly shaded!
That said, the game was as entertaining as you'll see all season and not just because Clevedon won. The Ravens played their part and troubled Clevedon with some strong and elusive running, testing the solid Clevedon defence.
There were a lot of very good performances from Clevedon who seemed to have found their cohesion again.
Let's hope it continues on the 9th November against Oldfield Old Boys, away for a 14:30 kick off.
Clevedon seconds lost at Bristol Harlequins by a few points. At least we sent a team away, unlike Cinderford whose second team gave Old Reds a HWO! The second walkover this season - what's going on in the forest?
The seconds are at home to Oldfield Old Boys seconds for a 14:30 kick off.
