We have received our allocation for this competition and we could not have more of a local derby feel to matters if we tried as we will play Premier One side Taunton St Andrews and Premier Two side Taunton Deane. We will now work with our two opposing Clubs to settle on a venue and a date for the event. We are looking to host this coming season too… More details to follow in due course.

We will be working with Milverton CC again in 2016 in respect of the 3rd XI playing there twice in the new season.

To this end we thank Milverton CC for agreeing to let us use their facilities this coming season.
Bridgwater regained the Somerset Cricket Board’s Indoor Title a year after losing it to Wellington as the League’s Division A once more went to the very last game. With Wembdon falling through the trap door in the Division’s opening game when they lost to Taunton St Andrews it was over to Ashbrittle and North Petherton to battle it out in the second game and a win for Ashbrittle would see matters go down to the last game and bring net run
