As preparations ramp up for the 2025/26 campaign and the dawn of The New Era at Bristol Manor Farm, we’re excited to unveil our full lineup of preseason friendlies for this summer.
We’ll kick things off on 28 June with an in-house game, featuring a mix of first-team players, Under-18s, and trialists. This opening fixture offers a perfect platform for new faces to make their mark and impress Manager Will Justin ahead of a competitive summer schedule.
Following that, the Farm will hit the road for a string of away games against familiar local opposition, offering a blend of challenges and opportunities to build form and chemistry:
- Bristol Telephones and Shirehampton of the Western League Division One
- Hallen and Mangotsfield United, who feature in the Western and Hellenic Premier Leagues
- Yate Town and Evesham United, both recently promoted to the Southern League Premier
This diverse run of fixtures is designed to give Justin and his squad a comprehensive test — combining local rivalries with step-ups in quality — ensuring we’re in the best possible shape when the league season arrives.
Let the new era begin.
