Bishopston opened the scoring with an early penalty but Tewkesbury replied with a penalty converted by Anthony Richards.
A break from the Bishopston 10 metre line by Tewkesbury wing Myles Whittle set up Jack Lampitt for his 1st XV debut try to score in the corner converted by Richards.
The second half started with a Tewkesbury drop out which was won by centre Matt Stone who made a penetrating run through the Bishopston defence to score under the posts, converted by Richards.
Bishopston were not out of it with their forwards starting to dominate and Tewkesbury conceded a try from a driving maul, converted by the Bishopston fly half. Bishopston continued to pressurise but Tewkesbury's defence held firm until the last minute of the game when Bishopston scored a try wide out only for the conversion attempt to go wide. The final score was 20-18.
After the two weeks break for the festive period Tewkesbury will travel to Drybrook on Saturday 7th January.
