Bristol Under-18 Combination round-up:

David Brown delivered a double strike for Stoke Lane as they cruised to a 5-1 Division A victory over Cheddar Albion.

They opened the scoring with an impressive header from Josh Martin and, with the wind in their favour in the second half, Brown increased their lead before left-back Ryan Lansdown skipped past two players to curl a magnificent third goal into the bottom corner.

Brown netted his second and Stoke Lane's fourth goal with a close-range effort after Alex Mott had lobbed the home keeper to give Cheddar belated hope. Tom Murray clinched victory for the hosts with their fifth.

St Vallier relinquished an unbeaten home record that had stood since last April as they went down 1-0 against Ashton Boys.

With the amount of possession that they enjoyed during the first half, Vallier should have led at the interval, but poor finishing and outstanding goalkeeping from Mitch Gill-Watkins combined to frustrate them.

Five minutes into the second half, Ashton grabbed the winner when Jack Rawlins found the net at the third attempt. Vallier's best chance of equalising fell to Jason Barter, who fired just wide.

Olveston returned to league action but went down 3-1 against Frampton YFC in the Gloucestershire Division. Hosts Frampton broke the deadlock just before the break when Stuart Maule bundled the ball into the net and Maule struck again to increase their advantage early in the second half.

Olveston's first shot on target resulted in a Phil Williams goal but Frampton responded quickly when a quality cross led to Frazer Wilson netting with a fine header.
