We start our season with a Emirates FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round tie as we travel west to Gloucestershire to face Hartpury University FC, a football club based in Hartpury, England, has achieved remarkable success since its formation in 2020. The club has a proud record of honours, starting with their triumph as the Herefordshire County League Premier Champions in the 2021-22 season. That same year, they also secured the County Cup, showcasing their dominance in local competitions. The following year, they added the Senior Cup to their trophy cabinet. The pinnacle of their achievements came in the 2023-24 season when they were crowned champions of the Hellenic Football League Division One, earning them promotion to the Premier Division. This victory was particularly sweet, as it followed a heart-wrenching loss in the play-off final to Milton United on penalties the previous year. The club's success is a testament to the dedication and skill of the players and the coaching staff, led by Dr. Martin Longworth, and highlights the club's commitment to providing student-athletes with opportunities to develop their talents and gain valuable experience in competitive football. This will be Hartpury's first ever game in the FA Cup.
