Weekend preview: Another home double as Men’s road trip continues

Monday 13th October 2025

Royal Wootton Bassett Town may be away once more in the Hellenic League Premier Division - but there's another home doubleheader at the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground featuring the Development and Women's First Team.

On Saturday the Men's First Team make the third of four visits to Worcestershire this month as they travel to face high flying Worcester Raiders (3pm kick off).

Raiders have the best defensive record in the division and, thanks in large part to that, are fighting towards the top of the table.

Jonny Aitkenhead's side will therefore have their work cut out to get a result - but the chance of causing an upset should serve as motivation for Bassett's young outfit as they seek another impressive result on the road following last week's draw with Westfields.

Meanwhile the Development team are at home on Saturday against Faringdon Town in the Wiltshire League Premier Division (Gerard Buxton Sports Ground, 3pm kick off).

The teams drew 1-1 back in August are jockeying for position with one another in the table. Another close, entertaining contest should therefore be in store.

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

Then on Sunday Bassett are in Wiltshire County Women's Cup action against Calne Town (Gerard Buxton Sports Ground, 2pm kick off).

Facing Wiltshire League opposition, James Lally's side will be hoping for as comfortable afternoon as possible as they eye progress to the quarter finals.

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