10/1/15: Mendip travelled to Bristol hoping for a positive start to the second half of their season but it was not to be. Initial hopes were raised when it was evident that the hosts had no keeper but it meant they were able to then compete with 11 outfield players and this advantage showed in […]
Men’s 1st XI 6 vs. Westbury & UB ‘C’ 0
13/12/14: Having the Mendip Christmas party the night before a league match might not be ideal preparation but a 3.30pm start time gave ample time to gather the troops to set off and face bottom of the table Westbury & UB ‘C’ to record our most comprehensive victory so far this season and keep a […]
Men’s 1st XI 4 vs. Bristol & West B 0
6/12/14: With one match having already fallen foul to the freezing December weather, by midday the playing surface was still showing signs of icy patches. However, after a delayed start and with the agreement of the umpires and both captains the match went ahead and it is testament to the Norton Hill astro that within […]
Ladies 1st XI 1 vs. Somerset Gryphons 2 (Friendly)
3/01/15: Mendip took the opportunity to test themselves against a tough opposition on Saturday with a keenly contested friendly against Clevedon-based Gryphons. After the festive break, the hosts began looking somewhat rusty, with Gryphons pressing high and consistently stepping in front of their markers. Despite some fine tackling from centre back Hayley Bullock, and a brave performance by Anna Swift, […]
Men’s 2nd XI 2 vs. Westbury & UB E 0
13/12/2014 : For their final match before the Christmas break, the Mendip Men’s 2nds faced bottom of the league Westbury & UB E at Norton Hill School. The away side started with only 10 players for the first 10 minutes or so, thus making the prospect of a strong start to Mendip being the most […]

6/12/14 : With 11 players, 4th placed Mendip Men 2nds made the trip up to Winterbourne to face Bristol & West C who were third in the league and only one point ahead. It was always going to be a tough match and with no subs, the outcome could not be predicted. The A’s unfortunately […]
Men’s 1st XI 3 vs. Robinsons ‘C’ 2
29/11/14: ROBINSONS ‘C’ 2 – 3 MENDIP MEN 1st XI With no fewer than 5 key players unavailable this week Mendip’s threadbare squad was stretched to the limit for the crucial away match against Robinsons.

Men’s 1st XI 3 vs. Bristol UWE ‘B’ 0
22/11/14: Mendip were able to field a full strength side for the visit of Bristol UWE and had every reason to feel confident going into the match. However, the students are undoubtedly a talented side whose performance belies their lowly league position. The visitors started very brightly and took the game to Mendip but stand […]
Men’s 1st XI 4 vs. Shepton Mallet A 3
15/11/14: After the previous week’s bruising encounter against table topping Weston-Super-Mare, Mendip had already lost James Lovell and John Lippiatt to serious injury and with two players dropping out on the morning of the match the squad was even further depleted as they travelled to Bruton to play Shepton Mallet. I’m not sure if it […]
