It has been a busy time in cup competitions over the last week but, even so, pride of place must go to Woodmancote, who claimed the County Primary Cup at Slimbridge on Thursday 7th April with a 2-0 win over fellow Cheltenham League Division Four side Hi Tec Rangers. Congratulations to Woodmancote and well done, as well, to their opponents who did both themselves and the League proud by progressing so far.

On the Charity Cup front, Elmbridge Old Boys reached the final of the Minor Competition by beating Gas Green Reserves 3-0 at the Gala Club and Naunton Park, of Division Three, secured their place in the final of the Junior Competition with a 3-1 win over Falcons, from Division Four, at Newlands Park.
