Mustoe looking for a run of results

Neil Mustoe will take his side to Bradford Town in the Uhlsport Hellenic League on Saturday, knowing that three points is a non-negotiable target for his side, as they look to find a way to escape the clutches of relegation after a dreadful run of form.

The Rovers manager confessed to being “embarrassed” by the defeat his side suffered last Saturday, a 7-0 reverse against Westfields, which was the seventh consecutive league defeat his side have faced since their last victory on 20 December.

Mustoe hopes to have Luke Merchant, Ashley Davies, Mark Pritchett and Kieran Alder back available, which he describes as a “major boost” ahead of the proverbial six-pointer against another side who have struggled in recent times, with Jamie Jordan’s side only above Rovers in the form table for the last seven games by virtue of their 5-4 win over Mustoe’s side when the two teams met at Glevum Park on 3 December 2022.

Corsham coming to Town, as Rovers look to recover form

Tuffley Rovers have a Hellenic League Premier Division game at Glevum Park for the first time since 27 December 2022, as they host Corsham Town in a 3pm KO this afternoon.

Neil Mustoe’s side will be looking to find some form – and score a first goal in over 450 hours of football – against one of the division’s high-flyers and a side who’ve made it to the last sixteen of the FA Vase this season.

The official match-day programme for that game is now available online.
