What a fantastic Halloween weekend at Midsomer Norton RFC!

Friday saw around 100 children and their parents join us for our Halloween party, before Saturday gave the adults a chance to let their hair down!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made such an effort with their costumes. It was brilliant to see so many people enjoying themselves!

Special thanks to our fantastic bar staff and everyone working behind the scenes to make it all happen. Special clip included of the captain dancing towards the end of the evening…

A great week for two of our young players!

A huge congratulations to Barnaby and Charlie, who were both selected to represent Bath last week.

Barnaby, from our U15s, represented Bath Player Development Group (PDG) at a festival in Newbury, competing against teams from across the Bath PDG centres. His Bath-based side came out on top!

Meanwhile, Charlie represented both the Bath U16 Academy Central and West teams, with both sides recording wins.

It’s fantastic to see two of our young players getting these opportunities and representing both Bath and Midsomer Norton RFC.

A real credit to the hard work they’ve put in, and to all the coaches who have supported their development along the way.

Well done, lads. Everyone at Norton is proud of you both!

Here are your fixtures for this weekend!

Sunday saw another Colts victory in a fantastic game of rugby at Norton Down, played in a brilliant spirit by both sides.

Nailsea & Backwell arrived with a smaller squad, but deserve full credit for battling incredibly hard throughout, making Norton work for everything.

Norton played some excellent rugby, scoring some outstanding team tries with some great handling, support play and unselfish rugby on display.

Norton tries came from Danny, Noah (2), Henry, Ben, Jacob and Austin.

The First XV picked up another big home victory on Saturday with a 45-15 victory over Old Bristolians. Tries came from Hawker (x2), Button, Harper, B.Doyle, Carey and Anderson. Taylor kicked the conversions.

It was a tougher week on the road for the 2s and 3s who were both beaten.

We have three teams of Mendip Men for you this Halloween, with the First XV hosting Old Bristolians at Norton Down at 2pm. Both teams are in great form, so this is a game not to be missed.

Meanwhile, the 2s and 3s are on the road! The Second XV are unbeaten in two and are making the trip to Clevedon. The Third XV travel to Keynsham, and it is great to see Taz back on the team sheet after a long injury layoff.

The clubhouse will be open from 12.30pm, screening all the PREM Rugby action - including Bath v Sale (3.05pm) and Northampton v Gloucester (5.30pm).

Then in the evening, we have our Halloween decorations up and a Silent Disco for those who are sticking around.

Mon Nor!
