Month: March 2024

Tuffley Rovers will host Fairford Town at Glevum Park on Saturday afternoon, as they continue a run of home games that will see them through to the end of their Uhlsport Hellenic League season.

Jamie Reid’s Fairford squad will arrive at Rovers’ home in a play-off position, with just two games to play, so for the visitors this is a vital game in determining the course of their season, while Rovers’ recent form has been positive, meaning they come into the game looking to climb a little further up the Premier Division table.

Kick-off is at 3pm.

The official match-day programme is now available online, with printed copies available from the turnstiles.

Tuffley Rovers will begin a run of home fixtures to end their 2023/24 season, as they welcome Westfields to Glevum Park on Tuesday evening.

With both sides close in the league table, there is plenty to play for in terms of league positions and both have seen improved form of late, so it could be a really good game….although Rovers’ record at home to Westfields is not one to admire, with a 7-0 home defeat last season and a 1-0 reverse the previous year, which was the first time the two teams had met at Glevum Park.

The Fields won the reverse fixture 4-0 in early September, so it promises to be a tough evening for Neil Mustoe’s side.

Tonight’s Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division will kick-off at 7:45pm and the official match-day programme is now available online, with printed copies available at the turnstiles.

Tuffley Rovers’ Neil Mustoe is expecting a difficult evening, as his side look to extend their good run of form (just one defeat in eight) against Brimscombe & Thrupp on Tuesday evening, knowing that the visiting manager, Sam Prior, will be looking for a huge improvement on the performance and result when the two sides last faced each other in the league, at Brimscombe, on 30 December.

On that occasion, Rovers ran out 5-1 winners but that was an unusual result, given that recent history between the two sides is very much in favour of Prior’s team, so Mustoe is expecting a tough evening.

“I have been in the game long enough to know how this feels both ways, and I’m sure Sam and his team will be looking to make their mark on tonight’s game, so we need to be right on it from the first whistle to the last”, said Mustoe.

The game will kick-off at 7:45pm. The official match-day programme is now available online and printed copies will be available at the turnstiles.

Tuffley Rovers will begin a run of home fixtures in the Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division tonight, as they host fellow Gloucestershire side Lydney Town in a Friday night fixture at Glevum Park.

After a recent win at play-off chasing Fairford Town, Lydney will hope that they’ve all but extinguished any concerns of relegation (even after bottom placed club Wantage Town won against Longlevens in the week) and with Rovers all but safe, too, there is a risk that the game might be something of a ‘dead-rubber’.

However, it is a local derby and Rovers manager Neil Mustoe has been open in his comments in relation to what he expects from his squad during the remainder of the season, and he has also confirmed that he expects James Morse’s side to be as competitive as ever, with the sides having some great battles over the last few seasons, with wins going to both clubs.

Tonight’s match kicks-off at 7:45pm and the official match-day programme is now available online.
