Brimscombe and Thrupp have enjoyed their first season in the Uhlsport Hellenic League Division One West coming fourth in the League thanks to a five match unbeaten run in April. The Reserves are runners-up in Division Two West. All in all a good start of life in the HL.
During the season we have made many new friends and we look forward to seeing them all again next season.
The Club is also installing Floodlights in May and we are all very excited at this step up in our facilities and the direction the Club is going in. Entry for the FA Vase has been made so hopefully another journey will begin next season.
Brimscombe & 'Glum' - 3 January 2012
Two away games, one at Wootton Bassett the other at Cirencester, over the holiday period brought little joy to Brimscombe & Thrupp.
A point at Bassett on New Years Eve 1-1, when Brimscombe believe they deserved three was bad enough. But at the Corinium Stadium Cirencester on Bank Holiday Monday two soft goals, one from the penalty spot the other a tame lob, gave the Cirencester Development side a fortunate 2-0 victory and again Brimscombe suffer from not putting their chances away.
