       club finished ninth  in  the  table,  their  highest  position ever,  and  also the
       highest  placed Bristol  team  at  this level,  before  being  relegated  in  season
       2018/19.

       Manager Jamie Hillman returned to the club in the summer of 2019 but with
       both seasons remaining unfinished, has  yet to complete  a full campaign.
