The first leg of a Cup Final day ‘double’ on the northern outskirts of Bristol went to true to form as Brimscombe and Thrupp recorded a 3-0 over hosts D.R.G. Stapleton. John Dalton scored either side of half-time in the 34th and 54th minutes to put the visitors in charge and substitute Luke Fletcher wrapped up the scoring with a late third goal. Brimscombe and Thrupp finish the Surridge Gloucestershire County League season in fifth position while D.R.G. will end up 10th or 11th depending on whether Kingswood win their final game. D.R.G.’s ground was located close to Frenchay Hospital on the B4058, less than a mile south of M32 Junction 1.
