Southbank suffered the double blow of crashing out of two cup competitions in one weekend with defeats for both the First Team and the Reserves.

Southbank's first assault on the Tilehurst Charity Cup ended in a penalty shoot out defeat following a thrilling 2-2 draw.  Despite a 2-0 half time lead Southbank's bear XI couldn't hold on as Earley Home Guard fought back strongly to force extra time and then penalties.  Penalty misses from Danny Fitzpatrick and Paul Towner led to a 4-3 penalty shoot out defeat and the dreams of making it to Madejski on hold for another season.

The Reserves also tasted cup defeat as Eastern Rangers inflicted a 4-2 beating in the John Lusted Cup..
