ST VALLIER joined the Bristol Suburban League in the 2021-22 season, winning the Division Two title at the first attempt. The following season they won the Division One title, going through the season unbeaten, and they’ve done it again this season by winning the Senior Division title.

They are 10 points clear at the top with one game to play, against promotion-chasing Mendip Broadwalk Reserves. Last Saturday, they travelled to Easton Cowboys Reserves and won 7-0, thanks to strikes from Jordan Evans (2), Jaiden Holver (2), Keith Kearney, Callum Cannings and Rakeem Brady.

Second place is being contested by Mendip Broadwalk Reserves, Jamaica Bell and Filton Athletic Reserves.

Avonmouth Reserves, in third place, had a 4-0 win in the Norman Goulding Cup final at Cossham Street against Broad Plain House Reserves last Wednesday.

In Division Two, Hanham Abbitonian­s Reserves raced into a 4-0 lead at home to FC Union Bristol, with goals from Jamie Jones (3) and Zak Giles, but in a spirited fightback FC Union nearly chaimed a point before going down 4-3. Daryl Cox, Nick Potter and Tim David scored for FC Union.

Red Falcons lost their 100 per cent record in midweek, going down to long-time leaders Socius United, but are favourites with games in hand to win the title.
