Watching the 'Gas Girls' this Sunday? - All you need to know!


It’s the eve of the fourth season for our re-launched ‘Gas Girls’ and after a summer of triumph for the Lionesses, excitement for the women’s game has reached fever pitch!


On Sunday at 2pm, Bristol Rovers Women’s FC will host Royal Wootton Bassett in the South West Regional Premier Division at Lockleaze Sports Centre, and there’s already been a lot of interest from supporters. After successfully completing back-to-back league titles, the ‘Gas Girls’ are ready to take on a new challenge, in tier 5 of the Women’s pyramid.


Pre-Season preparations have gone well with three wins in three, but on Sunday the hard-work really begins. A group of our girls will be joined by First-Team Manager Nathan Hallett-Young at half-time during Saturday's mens-team game against Morecombe, to chat about Sunday's fixture and the season ahead.


Tickets for the match are absolutely free and we encourage supporters to register by clicking here.
