Filton Athletic vs Cribbs A
Saturday, 28 February 2026
Kick-off 14:00 · BBS Park North
Marcliff Gloucestershire County Football League
Final: W 4-0
Welcome to BBS Park North
Firstly, I would like to welcome Cribbs Reserves and their supporters to BBS Park North. Hopefully, the weather is turning and getting games on becomes easier. The ground staff have done a fantastic job getting our games on and deserve lots of credit for getting games on where others in the league have been called off.
We're getting into the business end of the season now, the fixture schedule is starting to become congested and the night games are starting, so it's been good to get games on and minutes into the legs after an enforced winter break. Cribbs come into this after having played during the week and we will be their second game in a run that sees them play four games in eleven days.
Cribbs haven't had a great season so far and are fighting to retain their place in the league, currently sitting just inside the relegation places. Nine points from their last four games have helped them keep pace with the teams above them, but they will be hoping to keep the momentum going to give them a chance of moving out of the bottom two.
We have managed to keep up our good league form since the break in January and we will be hoping to put in a better performance than when we played them at theirs earlier in the season. A win will help us keep the pressure on the top two as well as keep some distance to the chasing pack, although we still have games in hand on all the sides around us.
Regardless of the result we will have a beer after the game, and a little bit of friendly banter as well. Hopefully, we will see you in the Feast.

From the dugout
Filton Athletic vs Cribbs Reserves
Welcome to the management team, players, and supporters of Cribbs. We have reached the halfway point of our season, and we are at the end of February. It has been unprecedented weather this season. Hopefully, that is the end of the rain now and the rest of the season will be uninterrupted.
Coming off a hard-fought 3-2 victory against bottom of the table Hanham. It was a mixed Hanham team with a couple of players from Corsham and Roman Glass which made the game a difficult one, and full credit to Hanham — they showed grit and determination and were the better team for long periods in horrible conditions. Great to see Payner back from a long-term injury and grabbing the winner. We showed real character the last two games after being behind at the break to come back and win without being at our best.
Since we drew 1-1 at Cribbs back in October, we have won every game in the league. It was probably the most one-sided game we have been involved in this season and was disappointing to get just the one point on the day. That's football — if you don't score your chances, you can get punished, which we did. The team has evolved a lot since then and we are looking forward to the challenge against an improving Cribbs side.
We are looking forward to the game and having a few pints after.

Meet the Filton squad
Tom Bradley
GK
Joined us last season after two extremely successful seasons with Avonmouth, bringing experience at both Gloucester County League and Weston League levels. A huge presence on and off the pitch.
Chris Hillyer
Defender
The modern day centre half. Great on the ball, quick, strong, technically brilliant and a free kick specialist.
Jack Cole
Defender (Captain)
Rolls Royce. Quick, aggressive, physical, fit, long range passing and a leader. Transitioned from midfield last season and has been a revelation.
Jack Willmor
Def/Mid (Vice-Captain)
Cafu of the County league. Outstanding defending 1 on 1 — hard to remember any winger going past him. Loves an overlap.
Tom Fry
Defender
Should be playing two leagues higher. Played for Mangotsfield with the gaffer many years ago. Outstanding attitude, can do pretty much anything on the football pitch.
Joe Mitchell
Def/Mid
Mr consistent. Technically gifted with both feet. Can defend and attack. Brilliant attitude.
Kieran Daniels
Def/Mid
Football IQ outstanding, can play LB, CB, CM or LW. Strong, quick and outstanding delivery out wide.
Dan Matthews
Def/Mid
Every opponent's nightmare. Will not stop running — tough, strong, technically excellent. Can play all positions and loves a 50/50.
Callum Mitchell
Midfielder
Dynamic midfield presence. Ball winner, loves a tackle and never backs down when it gets tough. Loves popping up with important goals.
Liam Dorman
Midfielder
Will not let opponents breathe. Committed, explosive and thrives in a 50/50. Technically very good and an important leader on and off the pitch.
Charlie Peacock
Midfielder
Coming up from the reserves last year, Char has been a breath of fresh air. Seriously talented midfielder who can play anywhere.
Matt Tovey
Midfielder
New summer signing recovering from a long knee injury. When fit, a serious player in this league. Both footed and amazing in the air.
Dylan Quick
Midfielder
New signing from our friends at DRG. Fits perfectly into the way we want to play this season: aggressive, quick, technically gifted, box to box.
Fraser Venables
Midfielder
Left foot wand and his right foot is just as good. Creativity, vision and awareness off the charts. Can play in the 10 or either wing.
Yusuf Abdulrahman
Midfielder
Box to box midfielder. Doesn't stop running from minute one. Has all the attributes to be a top player.
Kyle Thomas
Mid/Fwd (Player Manager)
Established attacking midfielder with bundles of ability. Strong on the ball and in the air and a deft touch at set pieces.
Fabien Pereira
Forward
Skilful attacking player, clinical when given the opportunity.
Dan Payne
Forward
Another summer signing and another left footed wizard. Has played leagues above in the past. Now fit and ready to go.
Trey Merrett
Forward
Goals, goals, goals. Direct, blistering pace and can shoot off his left and right. Can play down either wing or as a striker and will score.
Said Hassan
Forward
Quick, skilful, agile and loves taking on defenders. Can play down both wings and as an attacking full back.
Kieran Cooper
Forward
Big number 9. Aerial presence, back to goal, work rate, loves pinning defenders. Great character to have in any team.
