History
In the 1988-89 season, they joined the Gloucestershire County League and were champions in 1991. In 1993, they were Hellenic League Division One champions and were promoted to the Premier Division. Under the management of Doug Foxwell they regularly finished in the top half of the Hellenic League, and were generally considered to be the second team in Gloucester, behind Gloucester City. However, during the 2005-06 season, they resigned from the Premier Division and their record was expunged. Their first team took the spot of their reserve team in the second level of the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League (level 13) and gained back-to-back promotions to return to the Gloucestershire County League. Rovers finished the 2007/08 season in a respectable 4th place in the Gloucestershire County League, but struggled for consistency in 2008/09 under new manager Shayne Bradley with the highlight of the season probably being the 10-0 victory over DRG Stapleton.
Cups
Tuffley Rovers have not had much success in the national FA competitions. Their best result in the FA Cup was a 2nd qualifying round defeat in 1999-2000 to Lymington & New Milton, while they reached the 2nd round in the FA Vase in the 1994-95 season.
