Filton Athletic vs Stoke Gifford SGS United
Saturday, 20 December 2025
Kick-off 14:00 · BBS Park North
Marcliff Gloucestershire County Football League
Final: W 2-1
Welcome to BBS Park North
Firstly I would like to welcome SGS United and their supporters to BBS Park North this weekend. We look forward to a great game and some food and beers afterwards at the Feast.
I can't think of a better way to end the year than with a local derby. These games are always tough affairs and I don't expect anything different from this weekend's game. The fact that the two teams are separated by four points makes it even more interesting as a win puts us seven points ahead of the college with a game in hand.
The college have picked up three wins out of their last five league games but come into this game after a heavy defeat to Bishops Cleeve so will be hoping to get back to winning ways this week.
We are currently unbeaten in our last five league games and will be hoping to continue that record at BBS Park North this weekend. A win will keep us within touching distance of the top spots and with games in hand of second place.
I can't sign off without wishing everyone a Happy Christmas and New Year from all at the club. This is our last game over the festive period so enjoy the food and drink and we will see you all at BBS Park North in 2026.

From the dugout
Filton Athletic vs Stoke Gifford SGS United
Welcome to the management team, players and supporters of Stoke Gifford SGS. Local derby always brings a good crowd with it, especially being the last game before Christmas. It's always great to see some familiar faces from the Gifford side and I'm sure we will have a drink with them after the game.
It's our first home game in the league for over a month, where we defeated Totterdown 7-0. During that time, we have beaten DRG and Hallen Reserves at home in the Cup. Our home form has been excellent so far this campaign — apart from the first game of the season where we drew 0-0, we have won every game since. Unfortunately, we still have a number of first team players out injured or on holiday, but the way we come together as a group during this difficult period has been great to see.
Stoke Gifford will be a difficult test. We beat them 2-0 at home last year and drew 1-1 away, so they will want revenge. Gifford were arguably the title favourites given the player pull from the college and the resources they have available, but the first half of the season has been hit and miss for them. That being said, they have some great young players in their squad and, like last season, will be wanting to go on a winning run to challenge at the top come the end of the season.
We are looking forward to a fiery local derby and hoping our fantastic home form continues.

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.
