Last season saw Royal Wootton Bassett Town record a season double over Brimscombe and Thrupp for only the third time ever. On Tuesday night that number could become four when the teams meet in Gloucestershire for the second time this season (7.45pm kick off).
In early August Bassett triumphed 4-0 against the Lilywhites at the Sustain Stadium. And Bassett will be hoping to seal another Hellenic League Premier Division victory at Brimscombe's The Meadow ground.
The Development team are also in midweek action on Tuesday night, as they entertain Calne Town in the quarter finals of the Wiltshire Senior Cup.
Kick off is 8pm with the game taking place on the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground AGP.
Facing step six opponents who are fighting for promotion at the top end of Western League Division One, Mark Simpkins and his team will be gunning for a cup shock.
4-0 winners against Bemerton Heath Harlequins Reserves on the AGP in the previous round, Bassett will be big underdogs against a Calne team who stormed to a 9-1 victory against Blunsdon in the previous round.
The evening will also potentially see a return to the club for the likes of Nat Bell, Matt Capel and Ackeem Stewart who all featured - and impressed - for Bassett's Development team in recent seasons.
Admission is £4 for adults and £2 for concessions including RWBTFC youth members.
