Clevedon 60 Yeovil 14
Webb Ellis Somerset Vase
13th March 2025
"Clevedon Triumphant"
A shock, early converted try by Yeovil, within a couple minutes of the kick off, seemed to stir something primeval in Clevedon.
Within ten minutes or so of that opening score, Clevedon had notched four tries of their own as Yeovil were shunted and shoved everywhere, allowing Clevedon's attack to prosper.
Yeovil got one back to increase their score to 14, but again, Clevedon responded immediately with another try.
In perfect symmetry Clevedon scored five tries in each half, with the coaches using up their bench to good effect.
Yeovil's pack had a torrid time and were taken for "walkies" on several occasions, but stuck to their task despite being overpowered. Their lively backs kept Clevedon honest out wide, whose defence was excellent.
After this emphatic win, Clevedon will play their league rivals, Midsomer Norton, in the final sometime in April and at a venue to be decided by Somerset RFU.
However, before that date, Clevedon must play them away on the 29th March in what promises to be an intriguing match against the table-toppers, who are the league champions in waiting.
Please note that there are none of the usual pics, so no need to hunt for any!

Clevedon 28 Avon 5
9th March 2025
A ding-dong win at home
This was the battle of second versus third with only a single point separating them in the table before the start.
Clevedon's intent was clear from the kick off. They tore into Avon and messed their pack up to such an extent that after a couple of bashes at the line the almost evergreen Josh Mortimore went in under the sticks for a 7 nil lead after two minutes.
Breathless stuff.
Five minutes later, Clevedon's forward dominance allowed Charlie Tucker to score his try for a 14 nil lead.
Avon were shocked and their conversations behind the posts showed it. They rallied for the next ten or fifteen minutes and pressed Clevedon's line, but couldn't break through the resolute and determined Clevedon defence.
After working their way back up the pitch and with another period of Clevedon forward dominance, Mortimore went in for his second, 21 nil.
Shortly after that, Avon harried Clevedon into a few errors and scored their only try, wideout, on the half hour mark.
After a period of stalemate, Clevedon had a penalty attempt right on half time, but it sailed narrowly wide for a 21-5 lead.
The second half was a slugfest with good rugby from both sides being cancelled out by good defensive work from both sides. Matt Mannion changed all that with an interception try in the last quarter and for Clevedon to get a bonus point that puts them 6 points clear of Avon (ignore the Pitchero table that says 5 points!!) and into second place.
Clevedon's next league game is against Wells away on the 22nd March, but before then they got a midweek cup match. See below.

"Glass of Prosecco and a cream tea. Only a fiver."
Chew Valley II 8 Clevedon 80
5th March 2025
"A statement win"
Clevedon visited Chew Valley and scored 12 tries to notch an emphatic win away from home.
Ten different players got over the whitewash in a variety of ways, which made for an entertaining game, if you'd travelled from the coast, that is!
A trundle over from a catch a drive two minutes in, set Clevedon's try-fest in motion, although it took a while to score their next at the end of the first quarter.
The scrum was the dominant force in this match, highlighted by this pic, that had Gilly playing "Peek-a-Boo" with the whole Chew Valley pack, allowing Tucker to wander down the blindside for his second.
A great win for Clevedon sets them up to consolidate second place in the league, at home to third placed Avon on Saturday. After a single point, last minute loss away from home at the end of January, Clevedon will be looking to use home advantage to retain that second place. The kick off is at 14:30.
Rebels give Norton a HWO - what's happening!
Saxons 24 Old Reds III 31
5th March 2025
"Saxons unlucky"
Clevedon Saxons had the bare 15 for this match that in the end was the deciding factor.
They went down to 13 men through injury and were leading with five minutes left. A heartbreaking loss and a game they could've won with a full team. Still, at least we turn up and give it a go!

Round Three Results
A pack of 24 people with nine correct predictions are topped by the Phil from P.A. Fencing who is leading from Mike Blades (by 14) and the lovely Hazel O'Rourke by a mere 15 points difference.
As always in this comp, the points difference will be crucial, especially this year. Of the 24 people, 17 have the same selections and some of those have the same tie-breaker points total.
It's going to be close!
