Longlevens will face Gordon League next month in the only first-round tie in this season’s North Gloucestershire Combination Senior Cup.

Last season’s winners, who play in Regional 2 Severn, will travel to the Counties 1 Western North club on Tuesday 7^th April.

A slimmed down version of the Senior Cup means that only five teams will play in this season’s competition with Matson, Chosen Hill and Old Centralians all receiving byes into the last four. 

Hucclecote and Gloucester Old Boys, who were both in the Senior Cup last season, are playing in the Martin Slatter Cup this time around, with Hucclecote travelling to Gordon League 2nds in a first-round tie on Wednesday 8^th April while Gloucester OBs have a bye through to the quarter-finals.

Last year’s winners Matson 2nds begin the defence of their crown with a tie at home to Longlevens 2nds.

Chosen Hill 3rds, meanwhile, will launch their campaign to win the Glanville Cup back-to-back with a tie at Gloucester OBs 2nds on  Thursday 9^th April.

The cup draws took place last night at Coney Hill, who have not entered any teams in this year’s competition.
