It's a home doubleheader for Royal Wootton Bassett Town this weekend with the Men's and Women's First Team sides both in league action at the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground.

On Saturday Bassett host Tuffley Rovers in the Hellenic League Premier Division (3pm kick off).

Last season saw Rovers end a nine game winless run against Bassett with a 1-0 victory in Gloucestershire. But the return fixture in Wiltshire saw Bassett triumph 4-0 to make it six unbeaten against Tuffley at home (a run that includes five wins).

That streak is on the line this weekend as Jonny Aitkenhead's side face a Tuffley team with a similar philosophy that seeks to promote youth.

Admission on Saturday is £8 for adults, £5 for concessions and free for RWBTFC youth members.

Then on Sunday Downend Flyers visit in the South West Regional Women's Football League Division One North (2pm kick off) as Bassett finally play their opening home fixture of the campaign.

Bassett triumphed 6-0 against Downend at home last season - a result they are looking to repeat against a team coming off a seventh place finish.

Admission on Sunday is £4 for adults, £2 for concessions and free for RWBTFC youth members.

The Development team, meanwhile, are in away action on Saturday as they travel to fellow high-flyers Shrewton United in the Wiltshire League Premier Division (3pm kick off).
