For the third year in a row, Royal Wootton Bassett Town's first team programme has been selected as one of the top ten in all of non-league football, finishing in sixth place in the 2017-18 Soccer Club Swap Shop Programme Awards.

The achievement does not quite match that achieved in 2015-16 – when voted best overall – and 2016-17, when Bassett finished third. However, it is still a superb accomplishment, with four National League sides and North West Counties League Division Out outfit St. Helens Town the only teams being ranked higher.

For six seasons in a row the programme, edited by Club President Mark Smedley and printed by long-time club sponsor Cats Solutions, has achieved a top twenty finish in the annual awards.

Fellow Wiltshire club Chippenham Town again also made the top twenty, finishing in 16th place. They now have three consecutive top twenty placings.

Brackley Town Saints were the only other Hellenic League club to crack the top fifty, finishing in 43rd place.
