Hellenic Premier Division
Brimscombe & Thrupp 1 Tuffley Rovers 5
This defeat for Brimscombe against Tuffley Rovers was insignificant as players and fans paused to remember club secretary Allan Boulton.
Popular Allan died recently at the age of 56 after giving decades of service to grassroots football.
Brimscombe players wore black armbands to pay their respects to the much-loved club stalwart.
Earlier, former Gloucester City and Cinderford Town striker Karnell Chambers gave Rovers the lead from the penalty spot, sending Jordan Schofield the wrong way.
