Head to Head

Bedford Blues secured a solid victory over Bristol Bears with a final score of 23-14 in the Premiership Cup. The match was tightly contested, but Bedford's strong forward play proved decisive. Key moments included a dominant scrum that allowed Bedford to maintain pressure on the Bears' defense. Bedford's fly-half orchestrated the attack effectively, converting several penalties that contributed to their lead. Bristol struggled to find rhythm, often thwarted by Bedford's aggressive defense. The wet conditions, with drizzle throughout, limited expansive play and favored the home side's forward pack. This result avenged their heavy defeat to Bristol earlier in the season.
