200 Club Grand Draw

11th October 2024

This was the end of season grand draw for 2023/2024. The winners are below and will be contacted forthwith.

In addition to these prizes, £1500 was donated to the club for the specific purpose of pitch and equipment maintenance.

This is in honour of past president Michael Thomas whose whitelining skills were a sight to see. Be in no doubt, the wavy lines on the seafront were modelled on his exceptional skills. 😊

The club also owe a great debt of gratitude to Ruth Thomas, who continued running the 200 club after Mike died in 2022. Ruth has done this for 30 years and is now handing the reigns over to others to continue their legacy.

Ruth doesn't want any fuss (her words) and has said she will be available to mentor the newbie taking her place. Thanks again Ruth.

2002 Combination Cup squad reunion

This was the only game in town after St Mary's had pulled out the Bristol Combination Vase match, which caused a wee stir within the clubhouse, especially as there was a reunion of the side that beat them 8-6 in the BCC Final in 2002.

On that May day, Clevedon prevented Mary's from completing their third straight cup final success in what Steve Hill from the Evening Post described as "a scrappy, extremely close encounter".

2002 Combination Cup squad reunion

It was a huge disappointment for all concerned. Nevertheless, the old boys met up, reminisced and stayed in the bar until the LooseHeadz Barbarians charity match kicked off at 15:00.

The wait was worth it as the game ebbed and flowed with tries coming thick and fast from both teams.

The afternoon was very sunny and warm, consequently, rolling subs were used by both teams to keep the game above a steady trot for the large crowd enjoying the fun.

Post match pics were taken to record this memorable match that raised over £700.00 for the charity. A huge "Well Done" to the raffle ticket sellers and the bucket shakers.

Next week, league rugby resumes with the first team at home to table-toppers Midsomer Norton for a 15:00 kick off. The seconds are away to Keynsham, also for a 15:00 kick off.



Post Match Revelries

8th October 2024

500 caps for HAary, Jonno,Tucks, Nelli and Pagey

There was Big Nath's BBQ, a lovely curry from Emma and Rachel (A huge "Well Done" to them as well), speeches, 500 cap awards, live music from Steve Treble and to finish it off late on, a karaoke for those still standing.

The car park, where the BBQ was situated, was busy with people queing. The clubhouse, skittle alley, play area and garden were also very busy. In other words, the whole club was rammed and the bar was extremely well attended by repeat offenders!!

The bar takings must've been off the charts because the club was fuller than it has been for donkeys and the bar staff had a job just collecting the glasses. A huge "Well Done" to them as well.

Chairman Tucks ain't the chairman for nothing as he was locking up with Emma at nearly midnight before the curfew came into effect.

All in all, it was a hugely successful day. Here's to the next one.

Clevedon 89 Imperial 10

21st September 2024

"A massive home win"

Week 3 election

Clevedon played out of their skins in their first home game at "The Vale" since the great flood earlier in the year.

Tries were scored by an assortment of players at regular intervals, showing the wide range of skills they've been trhreatening for a while.

Young Chris Wilson, hooker

Clevedon fielded the Wilson twins at hooker and prop (the first set since the Dunn twins Alan and Simon, from the 90s), fresh from the colts and the brothers Tucker at 8 and 9. Brotherly love simply oozed from the pitch!

Clevedon thoroughly entertained the large crowd in the bright, warm and muggy weather.

The thunderstorm that was forecast happened on the pitch instead and everyone went to the bar happy, except of course, Imperial who were very generous in their defeat. They promised to open their infamous container bar for the return fixture before Christmas.

Next week, Clevedon are away to St Bernadettes, while seconds are at home to Gordano seconds. Both are a 15:00 kick off.
