Coney Hill and Hucclecote are on course for a dream all-Gloucestershire cup final at Twickenham.

Both clubs are just one game away from meeting in the RFU Community Cup Counties 3 & Below Championship  showpiece game after impressive victories yesterday.

Coney Hill overcame visitors Barton-under-Needwood 33-26 in their quarter-final tie while Hucclecote won 36-31 at Old Georgians.

First-half tries by Kai Turner, Joe Twomey and Finbar Baker helped Coney Hill into a 24-7 lead at half-time and although Barton-under-Needwood pulled it back to 24-21 and 30-26, a Ryan Barnett penalty gave the home side breathing space.

Ash Lewis also slotted three penalties and a conversion while Will Pinnell kicked two conversions.

“It was an excellent day,” said club president Ken Stokes. “They came back at us in the second half but we deserved to win.”

Coney Hill will now host Boston, who have been crowned champions of Counties 3 Midlands East (North East) after winning all 18 games, on Saturday, while Hucclecote entertain Wells.
