Subsidiary Cup

When the semi final of the Subsidiary Cup was made, there was a chance that this season’s final could be a repeat of last terms final that saw Corsham Rovers beat Griffin FC 3-0, or there would be a repeat of this year’s Memorial Cup final that saw Griffin defeat Spires Athletic 5-4 in a thriller at Odd Down.
In the end there was a repeat of any of the above as Lansdown overcame Griffin and Corsham Rovers beat Spires Athletic to reach back to back finals,

The quarter-finals of the Subsidiary cup failed to provide and upsets and with defending champions Corsham United safely through to the semi finals along with last terms beaten finalists Griffin FC, there is every chance that we will see a rerun of last years final that Corsham won 3-0.

There was a collective sigh of relief as the heavy overnight rain that threatened to derail the Second Leg matches of the Subsidiary Cup came to nothing and all bar one match was played. The outstanding tie between Team Nathan AFC and Farrington Albion taking place this weekend.

The First Round – First Leg matches of this season’s Subsidiary Cup threw up a number of interesting results, with a number of matches lokoing as if a second leg will be pointless and a couple more leaving the overall outcome on a knife edge.
