THE DURSLEY Colts celebrated a big home win and a new match shirt, as all three senior male teams beat North Bristol this weekend.

The Colts team have made a good start to the season with more than 30 players now in the squad.

“It’s not often we have a triple-header and to win all three games shows how much strength in depth we have.

“It was a pleasure to watch the Colts play on Sunday, coming out top in a very tough game.

“We have a brilliant youth set up and it’s great to see so many talented players coming through.”
