Hanham Athletic needed just a point from their match with league runners-up Kings Stanley at Vicarage Road to stay out of the drop zone in the Gloucestershire County League.

Hanham saw a few different faces to their normal line-up due to the unavailability of some of their first team players.

For the first 45 minutes, the replacements more than matched their high-flying opponents and a Chris Ashwood shot saw the visitors keeper Gavin Dean at his very best to keep the ball out of his net.

Then centre back Will Cawte hit a tremendous shot from 20 yards that had Dean at full stretch.

Kings Stanley had plenty of possession in the first half but failed to trouble goalkeeper Mike Strawford.

Stanley took control in the second half and Jon Embling, Martin McDermott both went close with shots from the edge of the box.

Sam Prior's powerful shot struck the upright in the 69th minute with the 'keeper well beaten.

Stanley were now well on top and Steve Potter opened the scoring in the 73rd minute. Four minutes later Aiden Mercer made it 2-0.

Chris Ashwood had Dean at full stretch to push the ball out for a corner in a very rare attack from the home side before Mercer netted his second goal two minutes from the end.

Yate Town Reservespulled off a good result at Axa with a 5-2 win.

They opened the scoring after five minutes through Alex Lambert, but the home side hit back to level with a Nathan Lumbar goal.

Steve Watts then gave the home side a 2-1 lead five minutes into the second half, before a goal spree by the visitors.

Justin Cattle hit a brace and there was one a piece from Jack Smyth and Danny Coombs.

Patchway Town ran out comfortable 3-1 winners over basement club Chipping Sodbury Town.

The visitors took a surprise lead in the 20th minute with a Luke Meacham goal, but the home side drew level five minutes later when Jamie Mitchell netted the first of his two goals, the second coming in the 40th minute.

Patchway wrapped the game up in the second half with a strike from Matt Webb.

DRG Stapleton moved up a place to third from bottom with a slender 1-0 victory over B&W Avonside.

There were no goals in the first 45 minutes although the home side did have the ball scrambled off the line by the visiting defence on several occasions.

When the game looked destined to be a goalless draw, Justin Bishop sent over a cross in the 85th minute for Cory Wilson to head home.

Henbury wrapped up their season with a convincing 4-0 home victory over Berkeley Town.

Henbury started the game fast and raced into a 4-0 lead in the first 45 minutes.

Shane Hobbs opened the scoring in the 10th minute after Nick McCootie set him up.

He made it 2-0 on the half hour mark with a brilliant individual effort.

Defender Jack Collins then hit a 30 yard screamer before, George Watts made it four two minute before the break with a shot from the edge of the box.

Highridge United woes grow as they went down 2-0 at home to Tuffley Rovers.

Warren Mann gave the visitors the lead on 42 minutes and it remained that way until the very last minute of the game when Chris Lee netted the second.

There was another Slimbridge success, this time coming away with a 3-2 victory at Thornbury Town.

Lewis Wilton gave the visitors the lead on 11 minutes turning in a Badham cross, but it took another 48 minutes before Craig Cole put them 2-0 ahead.

Town hit back in the 69th minute with a Riki Lippiatt strike. The swans regained their two goal advantage in the 87th minute as Lewis Wilton netted from a Tom Radcliffe throw in.

Town were not however, down and out, as Steve Alexander netted in the 89th minute to close the score to 3-2. Slimbridge defended their lead and went away with all the points.
