About the club

Watford Sports Club, known locally as “The Blue Club” after its blue clubhouse, is a members’ club at the west end of Bermuda. It was formerly known as Sandys Sports Club and has a long record of supporting local sports teams.

Our snooker team plays in the Bermuda Snooker League, and the club is a meeting place for darts, sports nights and community events in Somerset.

Looking ahead

We are refurbishing the hall so it can host live music again. In the longer term we plan a watersports and environmental base: teaching young Bermudians to scuba dive, supporting lionfish tournaments, restoring mangroves and seagrass beds, and organising marine clean-ups.

Team members

Any Club Member who plays for a club team represents the club and is expected to:

  1. Keep to the highest standard of sportsmanship and fair play, and respect the spirit of the game.
  2. Avoid any word or action likely to bring the game, the club or its league into disrepute.
  3. Shake hands with opponents and the referee, game leader or judge at the end of each game.
  4. Behave well when representing the club or attending any event, here or at another club.
  5. Accept the decisions of the referee or judge as final.
  6. Accept the Team Captain’s decisions on running the team, including selection and substitutions. A complaint should go to the Club Secretary and will be dealt with under the club rules.
  7. Treat victory with humility and defeat with dignity.

Abusive, threatening, violent, provocative, rude or obscene behaviour may lead to disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion from the club.
