2009-2010 Season Update
This coming season no teams were relegated into our league, and St Bernedettes and Taunton II gained promotion. Burnham-on-Sea gained promontion into Western Counties North, and North Pretherton gained promotion into Western Counties West. Therefore we have a good oppurtunity for promotion back to Western Counties North, if everyone get fit (Training!) and everyone gives everything they got. Lets make this a great season for James Lewis and Bristol Harlequins and it all starts at pre-season training. Hope to see you all there.
