Bristol Rovers v Exeter City
Pre-Season Friendly, Mangotsfield United Football Club, Tuesday 5th August, 19:45pm.
Bristol Rovers Women continue their pre-season schedule by hosting Tier Three side Exeter City at Mangotsfield United, for the first-ever meeting between the two clubs.
The Gas Girls opened their summer with convincing wins over Paulton Rovers and Bath City, before playing out a competitive draw against Welsh champions Cardiff City. Most recently, they fell to a strong Stoke City side from the Northern Premier Division, and now have just two fixtures remaining before the new FA Women’s National League season kicks off.
The Grecians got their summer schedule off to the perfect start, defeating Welsh champions Cardiff City 2-1 at Exwick thanks to brilliant goals from Ishbel Zuurmond and Amber Pollock.
