Midsomer Norton RFC

Well done to Noah and Connor, who recorded a 59-26 victory for Somerset over Buckinghamshire. Noah picked up a try in the process.

Congratulations to Noah and Connor who represent Midsomer Norton, and make their county debuts, for Somerset tomorrow afternoon.

You’ve probably seen every single club posting this generic effortless AI generated player recruitment template. Ignore it. We have 3 teams that will cover all ages & abilities. Want to join a club with real character and personality, our preseason details are coming soon…

It’s the off-season but it’s sunny outside and we have plenty of summer non-contact sessions. Mixed Ability Mondays, Seniors & Very Senior Men’s on Tuesday and Thursdays plus our women’s Wednesdays. Come up this evening to enjoy a cold pint and a run around in the sun.

We are proud to confirm we will continue to field three sides in the league next season. With a First XV competing at the top of Level 7 through to more social offering in the Third XV, there is something for everyone. Preseason begins in July, details coming very soon…

On Saturday we host our full club AGM for all club members. Following this the club will be open to all for a screening of Leinster v Bordeaux in the Champions Cup Final! Our head coach Lovejoy Chawatama will also be doing a bbq from which you can purchase food from 2.30pm.

There’s loads of non-contact rugby to join in with over the Summer months, but we kindly ask you to make use of different areas of the site to usual. This allows our fantastic grounds volunteers to prepare the pitches. Your cooperation will make a real difference. Thank you!

We wish to extend a huge thank you to @TrowbridgeRugby, who kindly offered and prepared their Veo camera setup for us when ours failed on the eve of Saturday’s final. A great show of community spirit and it was hugely appreciated. We wish them all the best next year in R1

Although there was no silverware on this occasion, a third place in the league - alongside two finals - makes this a season to be very proud of. Thank you all for your support this season. We go again soon. For now, everyone can enjoy a well-deserved rest. 📷 Sarah Wight

That brings an end to a long season and a punishing schedule over the past couple of months - which the boys handled admirably and deserve huge credit for.

Congratulations to Old Elthamians, who won our National Cup on Saturday. It was a pulsating, high-scoring contest - and there was lots to be proud of in our performance. Norton’s seven tries came from Button (x2), Rose (x2), Church, Daniels and Bryson. Rideout kicked two cons.

No plate, but we couldn’t be prouder

We know it’s about a month into the cricket season, but somehow the Third XV have one league match left. They head to Chew Valley tonight for a final run out before the break. Kick off is 7.30pm

We’ve organised a supporters’ coach for the National Cup final this Saturday 16th May 2026! Kick off is at 3pm. Coach departure times: Leaving MNRFC: 1:00pm (please arrive before this time so we can leave on time) Leaving Dings: 6:00pm £15pp ticketsource.co.uk/mnrfc

Our women head to Wells tonight for a return fixture 💪🏼

Meanwhile Second XV finished in seventh place. Despite feeling the pinch from injuries and the schedule, there were some great victories and some exciting performances from young players. Congratulations to Nailsea & Backwell and Yatton on their well-deserved victories.

Amongst the excitement of the cups, it is easy to miss the completion of the 1st and 2nd team leagues. The First XV performed admirably this season and secured third place on their return to Counties 1 Western North.

We are back at Shaftesbury Park for the final of the Counties 1 South Plate. Our opponents are the Kent champions, Old Elthamians. After a fine season the boys deserve the very best support, so let’s pack the park and make some noise for one final time this season. Mon Nor

Full Time Hove 22-38 Midsomer Norton

We advanced to the final of the National Cup thanks to a win away at Hove, in glorious sunshine. Tries came from Schuster (x2), Viol, Watts and Humphries. Rideout added four conversions. We now face Old Elthamians from Kent, this Saturday at Dings. 📷 Sarah Wight
