Football: Chalford and Tredworth Tigers set for Northern Senior League title showdown; plus County League news and women's round-up

Chalford and Tredworth Tigers are set for a winner-takes-all Northern Senior League Division One title decider on May 13 after challengers Longlevens Reserves picked up four points from their two games this week.

Levens were held to a 2-2 draw at English Bicknor on Saturday, coming from 2-0 down after Jordan Burke’s double, Luke Troke pulling one back before Craig Martin scored in the eighth minute of stoppage time.

They then won 2-1 at Lydney Town Reserves on Tuesday night, and sit on 64 points, two behind Chalford (66) and one adrift of Tredworth (65), with their final game at Woolaston on Saturday - and have a better goal difference than the top two.

Tredworth were given a walkover by Berkeley Town on Saturday, and if Levens beat Woolaston, then a draw between Chalford and Tredworth will see Longlevens win the league title on goal difference.

Brockworth Albion finished their campaign on 64 points after a Fergus Jackson hat-trick helped them to a 6-3 win over Lydney Town Reserves, Ben Langworthy, Harry Burns and Oliver Palmer scoring the others. Lydney's goals came from Jordi Sheen, Sam Wines and Luke Williams.

Dursley Town ended on 62 points after a 4-3 win at Woolaston, Ben Dolbear (two), Hadyn Evans and Fintan Small scoring, Elliott Greening, Gareth Rose and Riley Spencer replying for the relegated Forest side.

Goals from Lee Llewelyn, Alex Roder, Joe Peachey and Matt Tarling gave Tewkesbury Town a 4-0 win at neighbours Bredon, while Kieran Alder (two) and Ryan Cleal scored as FC Lakeside were 3-2 winners over Charfield, whose goals came from Ewan Hadfield and an own goal.

On Tuesday night, Woolaston won 4-0 at fellow relegated side Stonehouse Town Reserves.

Staunton & Corse have taken the final Division Two promotion place after Barnwood United were held to a 1-1 draw by Lydbrook Athletic on Tuesday night.

Barnwood needed to win to go up and led through Dan Smith, but Liam Thomas’s leveller ended their hopes.

At the other end of the table, Cheltenham Civil Service Reserves confirmed their safety on Wednesday night with a 3-2 win over Gala Wilton Reserves, Oli Wilkes, Kornel Debski and Dan Wills their scorers - the result meaning Gala will finish in the bottom three.

Jordan Mitchell scored four times as champions Whaddon United beat King’s Stanley 7-0, Connor Barrowcliffe, Riley Butt and Michael Winter with the others.

Curtis Whatley’s hat-trick helped Mushet and Coalway to a 5-3 win over Chesterton, Jack Daw and Jack Halson with the others, Chesterton’s goals coming from Nick Gregory (two) and Kyle Walker.

Lydbrook were 5-0 winners over Frampton United Reserves with goals from Aaron Powell (two), Finlay Morris, Blaine Smith and Ryan Wilks.

AFC Kempsey scored four goals in the last 10 minutes of their season to clinch the Cheltenham League Premier Division title by the smallest of margins.

Kempsey edged out leaders Winchcombe Town 3-2 in their penultimate game, meaning they had to defeat Southside Star by six clear goals to climb above Winchcombe on goal difference.

They led 3-1 at half-time and with 10 minutes left it was 6-3, but a late flurry saw them claim a 10-3 victory.

Josh Cochrane fired a hat-trick while Ethan O’Neill and Ryan Smith scored twice, Cameron Doyle, Joe Morrall and Charlie Cotterill the other scorers.

Kempsey have applied to join the Herefordshire League Premier Division for 2024/25.

Stroud League champions Painswick and North Glos League winners Bream Amateurs are in line to join the Northern Senior League.

Jordan Locke scored twice as Broadwell Amateurs won 4-0 at Hanham Athletic in the County League, Dan Brain and Frankie Johnson with the others.

Relegated Hardwicke drew 0-0 with local rivals Quedgeley Wanderers, while Sharpness and Frampton United drew 2-2 at Hamfields.

Sharpness broke the deadlock through Rudi McKinnon but Frampton equalised two minutes later, Theo Clayson scoring from inside the six-yard box.

The Sharks restored their lead on 65 minutes when Kieran Bennett sent a looping header in at the far post but Frampton equalised with five minutes to go with Clayson’s second goal.

On Monday, Ruardean Hill Rangers lost 3-1 to Hanham, and on Tuesday, Sharpness and Quedgeley drew 1-1.

Cheltenham Town have finished seventh in the FA National Women’s League’s Southern Premier after a 3-0 defeat by Hashtag United in their final game of the season.

All three Hashtag goals came in stoppage time at the end of the first half.

Gloucester City finished their South West Women’s League, Northern Division campaign in third place after a final-day 3-1 win over Downend Flyers, Paige Todd, Roxy Karbownik and Maggie Neall scoring.

Cheltenham Civil Service were 3-0 winners over Longwell Green in Division One of the County Women’s League, with goals from Jess Brown, Katie Ashmead and Gemma Riley.

Division Two champions Longlevens were beaten 4-1 at Southmead, Hayley Pitt with their goal, while Cheltenham Town Development went down 5-2 to Red Falcon, Kirsty Addis and Poppy Sullivan with their goals.

Goals from Hayley McGeough, Tia Watts and Amy Tandy gave Ellwood a 3-1 win over Winchcombe Town in Division Three, meaning the Forest side will finish fourth, a place behind Winchcombe., whose goal came from Holly Talbot
