Bristol & Bath Champions Shield 2013 (1st Leg) - Zoom Zooms 10 - 9 Pims1st Leg (Bath) - 7th August 2013: Zoom Zooms 10 - 9 Pims
In an extremely close match Bath Summer League Champions, the Zoom Zooms, got one hand on the Bristol & Bath Champions Shield with a 10 ponts to 9 win over their Bristol rivals. Although, the Pims continually threatened to take the spoils, a depleted, but fanastic Zoom Zooms side took and held the lead for the entire game. This sets things up nicely for the return leg in Bristol.

2008
CHAMPIONS: ZOOM ZOOMS (BATH)
Runner-up: Bristol Baabaas (Bristol)
This
year saw the inaugural staging of the Bristol & Bath Champions
Shield. Over a two leg series the Champions of Bristol (Bristol
BaaBaas) took on the Champions of Bath (Zoom Zooms) to find out who the
is the "Best in the West".
In
a pulsating contest, the
Zoom Zooms added the Bristol & Bath Champions Shield to their Bath
Summer League
title with an aggregate win over the Bristol BaaBaas. Having won the
first leg 11-7 in Bristol (Monday 18th August), the Zoom Zooms looked
to be odds on favourites to win the second leg (held at Stothert &
Pitt RFC on Wednesday 20th August). However, after letting
slip a 3 nil lead they had to settle for a 7-5 loss, but it was enough
to secure them the title and provide them and the Bath League with
bragging rights over their Bristol colleagues.
Congratulations Zoom Zooms!
