Everyone in the League is anticipating a great final

 Everyone in the League is anticipating a great final. The Roger Stone Memorial Cup has been challenged for over many seasons and this season it has two great finalists in Longwell Green Sports and Tiverton Town. They are both relatively newcomers to the League with Longwell Green Sports being members for four seasons. They gained promotion to the Premier Division this season having campaigned in the North Division previously. Tiverton Town are in their first season in the League in recent times and are playing in the South Division. They are going for both the cup and division double.

Over the season every club in the League has fought to get to the final. Along the way there have been some notable scalps who we thought would be challenging on 16^th April. Readers can see this from the results below…

 There have been some spectacular matches and results, clubs often playing above their usual capability. And shocks galore as clubs from all three feeder d divisions have beaten Premier Clubs on opposition grounds. Mileage has been no object with clubs from the far north of our region such as Mangotsfield Utd to Willand Rovers, Keynsham Town to Taunton Town or Portishead Town to Axminster Town racing to their matches. 

The Final is being staged at Paulton Rovers FC on 16/04/26 KO 7.30. Adults £5, 18 and Under £2 Come and support and cheer on the finalists. Please be aware that entry to the ground is by ticket obtained from the bar. Please support the clubs by attending.

We wish both clubs every success for an enjoyable evening.
