Hartpury FC are hunting a fourth win in a row on Tuesday night as we welcome Didcot Town to the 4ED Hartpury Stadium.

Ahead of the Railwaymen’s visit to Gloucestershire, here is everything you need to know about them.

WHAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR THIS SEASON?

The Railwaymen picked up their first win in seven games on Saturday with an away victory over Brixham AFC.

Goals from Tyger Hall and Owen James saw the side return to Oxfordshire with a 2-0 win lifting them four points clear of the relegation zone.

Midweek fixtures seem to be an Achillies heel for the Railwaymen who have just won three of their eight games in the week.

LAST TIME OUT

The Acorns made their FA Trophy debut against the Railwaymen in September, in which we came away 2-1 winners thanks to a Tomos Shyamapant brace, off the bench.
