It was the start of two of the League’s Cup Competitions. In the K.O. Cup, holders, Frome Collegians, had a comfortable passage through, beating Radstock A at home, 6-0.

On the score sheet for Frome were Theo Sing (2), Josh Butler (2), Lee Handford and sub, Chris Gait. Coleford, at home with doubles from Jack Davis and Curt Mcinerney, beat Westfield Res, 4-0, and a Rico Sobers hat-trick and a goal from Dan Hucker secured the win for Peasedown Albion at home against Somer Valley.

In the Tony Baxter Shield, Coleford Res had an excellent away win against Old Crown Bath, 3-1. Stoke Rovers put seventeen past Charlton Utd, and one of the upsets of the day was Peasedown Albion A ,who beat Weston Bath, 2-1, at home. Getting the goals were Jack Newman and Mark Gould. Meanwhile, new team to the League, Mendip Rangers, scored seven past Chilcompton United.

Pilton United, in the Premier League, continue their good form, going away to Purnell Res and winning 4-3. The other game played was Bath Villa away to Victoria, who won 2-1. The hosts must have thought they had secured a point, with Dan Culiford getting their goal, but with further goals from Lee Rudland and a last-minute winner from Taylor Danrico, it was not to be.

The First Division saw Chew Magna Res beat Clutton Res, 3-1. William Garrett scored the goal for the visitors. A big surprise was Chilcompton Res beating Timsbury Res 7-0 at home. High Littleton are going well after they secured a home win against Peasedown Albion Res, 2-0 – their scorers were Luke Tucker and Sam Garrett. Wells A scored seven against Meadow Rangers.

In the Second Division, Farrington played out a 1-1 draw with Belrose, and Saltford beat Glastonbury Res at home, 3-0. Getting the goals for the home team were Guy Turner, Marcus Smith and Dan Payne. Timsbury A had a very good 3-1 win away to Westhill Sports Res.

What a good game in the Third Division; the young Chilcompton A team at home had a very good first half, with goals from Mat Weaver and Jake Curtis, leading 2-0 at half time, but Westfield A really took over in the second half and played very well, scoring three and winning 3-2.

At home, Pilton Res beat Frome Collegians Res, 3-2, with Jack Withers getting a hat-trick for the hosts.
