Football: Bath City FC: Braintree put the dampers of Bath’s promotion push on Tuesday, when they took three points at Twerton Park leapfrogging the Romans in the league who are one point behind Bath – but Braintree have game in hand. City took the lead with new signing Ephraim Yeboah early in the first half when he went broke free and sidestepped the Braintree keeper to score on his debut. In game dominated by Bath it was Braintree against the run of play that took the points with two goals with the winner – a penalty scored by the visitor’s striker Coulthirst.
Bath drop back to 5th place in the league on 57 points while Braintree move up to 4th with 39 points. The defeat has blunted City’s promotion push but they remain in the hunt with plenty of the season to go. Yeovil look set to return to the National League automatically with 75 points.
Bath City Women FC: This is the club’s match report on their away draw with Royal Wootton Bassett Town Ladies on February 25th: “Nat Goodright’s controversial 95th minute leveller cost Bath City Women two points at Royal Wootton Bassett Town Ladies. Tara Taylor’s stunning 49th minute strike, her first of the season, put the Romans ahead. The Wiltshire side had squandered a few first half openings but struggled in the second shooting up the slope with the wind against them. Mollie Harvey had a chance to make it 2-0 late on but she poked wide, and it proved pivotal as the hosts snatched a draw. Laura Jefferies’ near post corner appeared to be handled by Libby Davies, and with Sadie Farley obstructed the ball fell to Goodright who placed home from 10 yards in one of the last touches of the game. The point keeps City’s unbeaten 2024 intact and realistically they need seven points from nine available to clinch a creditable third. The draw also means Poole Town Ladies are champions.”
Rugby: Bath Rugby Union Club: Finn Russell’s cross pitch kick to South African Van der Merke who ran in to put Scotland further ahead with a hat-trick try and helped to seal victory over England. England featured Bath’s Ollie Lawrence and Sam Underhill in the Calcutta Cup fixture. The magician was on form for the dark blues as he kicked conversions and a penalty and at times orchestrated the game to the frustration of England. Van der Merke qualifies for Scotland having lived and played north of the border for more than three years.
It’s eyes down for the next home game in the Gallagher Premiership against Sale Sharks on Sunday 24th March when the BB&Ws will seek to grab maximum points and retain a healthy position in the league.
Team Bath Netball: The Blue and Golds came down to earth with a bump following their opening win – this second match on the road at Loughborough saw them beaten 83-46. In what the club described as a tough game against the reigning champions Loughborough Lightening but it featured a full squad with a debut for Emma Barrie.
In the opening match of the season the ‘Long Bomb Queen’ Super Sophie Kelly was named Player of the Match as the Blue and Golds won their opening game of the season against The Strathclyde Sirens by 49-53 in the away fixture at the Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham
Their first home match is on Friday 1st March at 7.30pm. See the full fixture list below.
Team Bath Swimming: University of Bath sporting scholar Leah Crisp says she is “over the moon” after securing a Paris 2024 Olympic Games quota place for Team GB in marathon swimming. She finished 17th overall in the women’s 10km race at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships in Doha to earn Britain one of the 13 quota spots still available for this summer.
“I got to the last lap and thought, ‘everything I’ve got left, let’s use it and see what I can do’,” said Crisp, “I got a bit stuck around the second buoy on the last lap and lost a few places, so I just had to absolutely go for it down the final kilometre. It was quite stressful, really hard and everyone was just really gunning for it but I obviously managed to pull it back enough.”
Team GB’s Olympic swimming squad will be confirmed later in the year, with the women’s marathon swimming race taking place in the Seine River in central Paris on Saturday 8th August.

The Blue, Black and Whites are in the Champions Cup pool stages in 2023/24. Taking place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the home of next year’s final, Sarra Elgan and Vincent Pochulu announced Bath Rugby’s fate for their European campaign. Being drawn in Pool 2, Bath Rugby will take on two French teams in the form of Top14 Champions, Stade Toulousain, along with Racing 92 and the URC’s Cardiff Rugby and Ulster Rugby. Bath Rugby have also drawn Harlequins, however under the Champions Cup’s new format, teams within the same league drawn into the same pool will not play each other.
Within the new format, the Champions Cup sees four pools of six teams, totalling 24 teams. The teams are split into two tiers; the four winning teams from the 2022/23 leagues (Munster, La Rochelle, Stade Toulousain and Saracens) make up Tier 1, with the remaining 20 qualifying teams placed into Tier 2. In a club first, the Blue, Black and White will take on Racing 92 who finished fifth in the Top14, giving new signing Finn Russell the chance to front up against his former French side.
Recent Top14 winners, Stade Toulousain, may also get the chance to visit The Rec, giving Bath a shot at redemption after a narrow 20-22 defeat the last time the French champions were in town in 2018.
Cardiff Rugby, who picked up the Welsh Shield for 2022/23, were handed a 38-3 hammering in 2016 and will look for retaliation come the pool stages.
Northern Ireland-based outfit Ulster Rugby, who were knocked out in this year’s URC 2022/23 quarter finals, complete Bath Rugby’s Pool fixtures for 2023/24.
Round of 16 – 5/6/7 April 2024
