Tuffley Rovers Football Club would like to extend their sincere condolences to the family of Jan Goodge, who passed away recently. Jan had been a great supporter of the club and several of her family have played football for the club.
Jan's funeral will take place tomorrow, 12noon, at The Crematorium in Gloucester. A celebration of her life will follow at the Trinity Church, Finlay Road, starting at 1pm (smart dress; football shirts welcomed).
Jan is survived by her husband, Martyn and children Michael, Joanne, Lisa, Victoria and Marcus. She was also mother-in-law to Paul & Jason, as well as a much loved grandmother. All the Goodge family have been friends of Tuffley Rovers and our thoughts are with them at this time.

The Under 18 side ended their season last night, with a disappointing League Shield cup final defeat, at Glevum Park last night. Having already secured the League Cup final on Sunday, the lads were hoping to complete a cup double but Bristol Athletic ran out 2-0 winners. Nevertheless, Neil Brinkworth and Paddy Boyd can look back on the season with considerable pride.

GAME OFF!! The Under 18s Cup Final is off today, due to a waterlogged pitch. It will now be played next Sunday, 6 May (again, at Brislington).

29 Apr 2012
The Under 18s take part in the League Cup final today, travelling to Brislington, to face hosts Brislington FC, who qualified for the final at their home venue. The Rovers' lads will be in confident mood following their recent run of good form and there promises to be a big crowd attending in support. Good luck to the boys - we are hoping that they can bring us the second piece of silverware this season, following on from the Reserves winning the Stroud League title.

26 Apr 2012
The funeral of Mike Anthony, a popular member of the Rovers' social club, will take place on Monday, 30 April 2012, starting at 11am at the crematorium in Gloucester.

23 Apr 2012
The Under 18s produced another great performance today and secured a second cup final appearance for the season. This time, they defeated Prestbury Rovers 4-0 to reach the League Shield final, a game that will be played on 6 May. Goals came from Ben Robinson and Jordan Cooper, who hit yet another hat-trick to take him past 50 club goals for the season.

22 Apr 2012
Yesterday, the Reserves completed their league title winning season with a disappointing, heavy home defeat to Horsley United. That didn't stop them partying late into the night and they will look to build on the success of this season, as they move into the Northern Senior League next season.
Today, the Under 18s play in the League Shield, knowing that a win will take them in to a second final, to be played on 6 May. They'll need to beat Prestbury Rovers, when that fixture kick-off, away from home, at 2pm. Good luck, lads!

15 Apr 2012
The Under 18s rounded off a great weekend with a fine 2-0 win today, at home to Cleeve Colts, thanks to goals from Shaun Smith and Ben Robinson. This completes a very solid league campaign for The Rovers lads, who still have the League Shield and a League Cup final to look forward to. Details of the League Cup final are available on this home page.

15 Apr 2012
CHAMPIONS! That is the title bestowed upon our Reserves yesterday, as a result of a convincing 3-0 win, away at Horsley United. The side managed by Rob Wordley and Kev King continued their long unbeaten run, keeping another clean sheet in the process and with recent results having gone their way, they ended the day celebrating now that the Stroud Division One title is mathematically beyond their rivals. Well done to Rob, Kev and all the lads who have played for the team this season. Now to prepare for Northern Senior football.

13 Apr 2012
The Reserves will look to keep up their unbeaten run tomorrow, when they travel to Horsley United looking to secure the win they need to help guarantee the Stroud League title for 2011/12. This is still a tricky tie for The Rovers, who failed to take a point against Saturday's opponents during the 2010/11 season, so only another solid performance will be enough to gain the required points.

31 Mar 2012
The website (including the stat's page) is now up-to-date, following another set of technical difficulties. Match reports have been added for all last week's fixtures.
There are only two games today, as the Firsts play their final fixture of the season, at home to Chipping Sodbury, hoping to secure third spot in the County League, after an extremely disappointing end to their campaign.
The Reserves are also in action, away to Stonehouse Town Reserves, knowing that a victory would take them a step closer to achieving the ambition of a promotion to the Northern Senior League.

23 Mar 2012
There are three fixtures tomorrow:
Firsts - away to Rockleaze Rangers
Reserves - home to Slimbridge Reserves
Thirds - away to Alkerton Rangers
The big game of the day will surely be the Stroud League Division One fixture, where the Reserves take on league leaders Slimbridge, knowing that a win will ignite their title hopes, whilst a defeat will probably mean that they are extinguished. Good luck to the Rob Wordley, Kev King and the lads!

21 Mar 2012
Barring a miracle, the Firsts' hopes of winning the County League ended tonight, with a disappointing 2-0 defeat, away at Bristol Academy.

Happy Birthday to Rovers' Paul Bayliss, who is 50 today. Bayliss, who is amongst Tuffley's longest serving players, save for a short period at Hardwicke, is still playing regularly and is currently the Thirds top goalscorer. Happy Birthday, Baylo! Use the Tuffley Rovers Football Club Facebook page if you want to leave the old stager a birthday message!

We've had some technical problems for the last 7-10 days which have made it impossible to update the website. They've now been resolved and so we'll try and update the site over the next couple of days. Some match reports might be missing, as a consequence.

The Under 18s have a big County Cup quarter-final tie, away to Winterbourne AFC, on Sunday, 5 February and will need all the support they can get.
