Holy Cross RC schoolchildren made their contribution

Players, staff and supporters came together for the club's annual carol service at Ashton Gate last night.

The well-attended service, held in the Dolman Exhibition Hall, was led by club chaplain Derek Cleave.

Music was provided by the Salvation Army band and schoolchildren from the Holy Cross RC primary school in Bedminster.

Among the attendees were chairman Steve Lansdown and wife Maggie, chief executive Colin Sexstone, player-boss Brian Tinnion and the entire first team squad.
