SOMERSET CUP 2007/2008
Once again a very fiercely contested Cup amongst the top 16 teams in the County. Sadly we did have a team excluded from the Cup for fielding unregistered players. However all that aside we saw Taunton (SW2W) beat Weston-super-Mare in the semi-final 25-20. In the other semi-final Clevedon beat Oldfield 30-07.
The final saw Taunton pull out all the stops to beat Clevedon 48-18 at Weston-super-Mare.
SOMERSET BLACKTHORN VASE 2007/2008
This year saw the return of Blackthorn to the Sponsorship, moving from the Cup to the Vase.
Semi-finals
Avon | 17 | v | 12 | St. Bernadettes |
Winscombe | 07 | v | 48 | Wells |
Final
Avon | 18 | v | 56 | Wells |
All the teams that got to the semi-finals produced some superb rugby culminating in an excellent final.
Both competitions provide the County selectors with a chance to see the calibre of players in Somerset and reward them with a place in the County Team.
Junior Cup
