R.I.P. Neil Hutton
21st August 2025
Neil Hutton has left the pitch for the final time.
His sudden, tragic passing on Wednesday, while swimming, will leave a huge hole in his family, the local community (Men Shed) and the rugby club that he loved so much.
Neil was Club Captain in the 1985-86 season and who could forget his Collie dog patrolling the touchline as he played, causing no end of mischief. His senior rugby career was as a hooker, having spent his formative Colts years as a fly half!
He also played hooker for Bristol during that time and would often reminisce about his playing days to anyone that would listen - you may be one of them?
Neil has gone too soon, but won't be forgotten, that's for sure. Our thoughts and prayers are with his parents Geoff & Molly and their family at this sorrowful time.
Funeral arrangements will not be known for at least three weeks and will be posted here when they are.
Rest in peace, Neil.
A few photos of Neil can be found here.

For those of you that covet a Clevedon RFC blazer, look no further.
After extensive enquiries, I can reveal the cost of them and as you'll see the more we get, the cheaper they will be.

Head Coach Announcement
9th August 2025
By Tony Dauncey
Clevedon appoint Nick Carpenter-Brooks as head coach for the 25/26 season.
Clevedon RFC have appointed former Bristol Bears and England U18s player Nick Carpenter-Brooks as their new head coach.
Carpenter-Brooks who played at the highest levels of English rugby, steps into the role after assisting the club last season.
His appointment comes at a pivotal time for Clevedon RFC, as they look to build on recent progress and strengthen their squad under his leadership. Carpenter-Brooks experience as a professional player is expected to bring fresh insights and a dynamic approach to coaching.
Clevedon's Director of Rugby, Tony Dauncey, expressed his enthusiasm for the appointment, stating, "Getting Nick on board is a major coup for a club in our position. Nick is well known for his attention to detail and strong work ethic, and his delivery is excellent. Added to this, he was a Clevedon Junior and has grown up around the club, so will really buy in to the community".
Carpenter-Brooks is keen to combine his coaching role with a return to playing the game he loves and don the Blue and Gold for the first time as a senior player!
