Match Report: Weston‑super‑Mare III 32 – 24 Crewkerne XV

Crewkerne kicked off their delayed start to the season with a tough away trip to Weston‑super‑Mare III, travelling with a committed squad of 16 players ready to set the tone for the campaign. Despite the final scoreline, this was a performance packed with grit, character, and plenty of reasons to feel optimistic about what lies ahead.

Crewkerne’s attack sparked repeatedly throughout the afternoon, with four well‑worked tries showcasing both individual flair and team cohesion.

One of the biggest positives was the performances of the debut players pulling on the Crewkerne shirt for the first time. They slotted in brilliantly, adding fresh energy and showing exactly the kind of commitment the club thrives on. Early-season cohesion always takes time, but the signs were genuinely encouraging.

The 32–24 defeat will sting, but the performance behind it tells a different story. Crewkerne showed resilience, creativity, and a growing sense of identity — all with a squad still knitting together and new faces stepping up impressively.

If this is the foundation, the rest of the season promises plenty. The effort, attitude, and ambition were clear. Crewkerne are building something — and this was a strong first step.
