NEWENT Town signed off a tough league campaign with a 1-0 Hellenic One home win over Kidlington 2nds to lift them off the bottom on Saturday.

A deep cross into the box 13 minutes from time saw Joseph Richards head across goal for Deqwon Ebanks to tap in.

And with the Daffs also making it through a 4-2 midweek Marsh Supplementary Cup quarter-final with a 4-2 win over Gloucester City Development, the season's end has boosted the Wildsmith Meadow club.

It's not been announced whether Newent will keep their place in the division, but the exit of two teams during the season may well save them.

The Daffs Development also drew 2-2 with Gloucester's 2nd string at home on Saturday to go unbeaten in 2025 in Hellenic Two West, Solomon Osinuga and Jacob Rodgers their scorers.

Elsewhere, Ross Juniors missed out 4-3 in an exciting North Gloucestershire One derby clash away to Lydbrook 2nds, Conner Watkins firing a brace and Jack Clark one.

Mid-table Ruardean Hill fell to two defeats in two days in the Gloucestershire County League, 1-0 at home to Bromley Heath on Thursday and 2-0 at leaders Almondsbury on Saturday.

Lydbrook 1sts lost 2-1 at home to Harrow Hill in Gloucestershire Northern 1 in midweek, but bounced back to win 2-1 at Woolaston at the weekend, leaving them fifth.

And Mitcheldean won 4-1 at home against derby visitors Howle Hill to go top of North Gloucestershire Premier, Damon Beaumont, Connor Dix, Charlie Meek and James York their scorers.

Huntley lost 2-1 at home to Blakeney though, Bradley Taylor with the consolation, and Ruardean Hill 2nds 4-0 to visitors Milkwall.

NG1 leaders Longhope were also downed 3-2 by second-placed hosts Redmarley, Florin Cranic and Harry Tuffley the visitors’ marksmen, but have games in hand.

But Ruardean United are promoted from NG2 after a 5-0 win away to Redbrook 2nds, Josh Street with a hat-trick.

Meanwhile, on Sunday in a 10-aside Herefordshire Womens's League match due to a shortage of players, Ross Juniors Ladies stormed to a 10-0 win at home to Tenbury United.

They led 7-0 at the break and added three more before the game was stopped in the 73rd minute due to a serious injury to a Ross player.

Nicola Wall fired four, Jess Brain and Hannah Jenkins braces, and Summer Richardson-Wall and Danie Page Ward one apiece for Juniors, sponsored by Kings Accountancy Ltd, Ross Health and Fitness and Scaffolding 2000 Ltd.
