Weekend preview: Home double as Women aim for league cup semi berth

Tuesday 3rd March 2026

While the Men's First Team hit the road, Royal Wootton Bassett Town's Women's First Team and Men's Development sides are both in action at the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground this weekend.

On Sunday the Women's First Team entertain Bitton in the quarter finals of the South West Regional Women's Football League Divisional Cup (2pm kick off).

Both teams are eyeing up the Division One North title, having each suffered just a single league defeat - and progress in the cup will keep alive their hopes of a possible double.

Bassett triumphed 3-1 when the teams met in Wiltshire in their only league encounter so far this campaign - and James Lally's side will be looking to repeat that result.

Prior to that on Saturday the Development team welcome their Larkhall Athletic equivalents in the Wiltshire League Premier Division (3pm kick off).

Bassett are currently on a six game unbeaten run, but that will come under significant threat against a Larkhall side who are second in the table.

Larkhall edged out a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture back in August.

Admission for both home games this week d is £4 for adults, £2 for concessions and free for RWBTFC youth members.

Also on Saturday the Men's visit Cinderford Town in the Hellenic League Premier Division (3pm kick off).

Jonny Aitkenhead's side are looking to seal a season double over the Foresters after an impressive 2-1 home win a fortnight ago.

They are making their second visit to the Causeway Ground this season after falling to defeat on penalties following a thrilling 3-3 FA Vase draw in August.

That result meant Bassett are unbeaten inside 90 minutes in their last three visits to face the Foresters. And Bassett will be hoping to record a positive result against opponents who they are now vying for position with in the table.
