MIDSOMER NORTON MIDSOMER NORTON Midsomer Norton RFC currently plays their home games at the Norton Down Playing Fields in Radstock and their home colours are red and white hoops. They are led by the team of Chairman Neil Denning and President Nigel Rowles and the club has been developing well under their leadership. They have put together a history of which they have every right to be proud, having first been established in 1936 meaning that they celebrated their 75th anniversary in 2011. They are able to boast some high quality facilities with 3 excellent pitches, a floodlit training area, a clubhouse and a large car park. It would be fair to say that their first team has not perhaps enjoyed the start to the current campaign that they would have liked and are yet to register a win in the league. This sees them lying at the bottom of the league without a point. There is still plenty of the campaign left to go however and if they can put a good run of form together they will quickly climb away Brewing finest ale Our five draught ales win awards. Beer drinkers love them. They love the distinctive tastes and delicious character. The refreshing, thirst-quenching qualities of Palmers’ traditional ales. “They are able to boast some high quality facilities.” palmersbrewery.com www.rugby-club.biz 21
