Bristol Rovers will be looking to get more points on the board in the GFA Women's Senior Cup group stage, with a visit from Tier 3 side Cheltenham Town on Sunday.

The Gas beat Pucklechurch Ladies 1-0 away from home in the previous round of the GFA Cup thanks to a goal from striker Meg Jarvis, after the hosts stood firm defensively until the 85th minute.

Cheltenham most recently lost 2-0 to Premier League Premier Division side Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Fourth Round of the Women's FA Cup. Goals from Amber Hughes and Beth Merrick ended Cheltenham's historic Women's FA Cup run.
