First team pre-season schedule confirmed

Neil Mustoe’s Tuffley Rovers side will begin their 2026/27 season preparations with a visit from Southern League neighbours Gloucester City on Friday 3 July, in a pre-season schedule that was confirmed today.

That game will be followed by another game at Glevum Park, against Lydney Town, before Rovers will play two further home fixtures, against Hardwicke and Hellenic League newcomers Bromyard Town, either side of away games at Quedgeley Wanderers, Slimbridge and Newent Town.

With training due to commence on 25 June the 7 games will help Mustoe in building momentum ahead of his fifth full campaign as Rovers’ manager, having joined the club midway through the 2021/22 season.

Last year Mustoe’s squad achieved their highest league finish since he joined the club, with a 10th place in the Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division the best the club has achieved since 2017/18 and their 51 points the best tally since 2001/02.
