Rivalries

For geographical reasons, Presteigne St. Andrews are probably the club's main rivals, despite not being members of the same league, or even the same football association. However, cup fixtures and friendlies are played regularly between the two clubs.

Youth football

They have a youth system which play in the Herefordshire Junior League and Herefordshire Floodlit League. In recent years the youth have won various local titles in what has been a purple patch for young footballers in the surrounding area. It has provided both senior teams with many players.
