Another midweek fixture, another derby for Royal Wootton Bassett Town.

On Tuesday Jonny Aitkenhead's side make the short trip across Swindon to face in form Highworth Town in the Hellenic League Premier Division (7.45pm kick off).

The Worthians have shot up the table in recent weeks after a slow start and now find themselves around the playoff places.

Their return home has helped with the now slope-free Save On Tyres Stadium having seen Highworth win three out of four games so far (including last week against Cirencester Town).

Tuesday will be Bassett's first trip to the newly renovated ground, with the visitors hoping to put a dent in their hosts' upturn in fortunes - and to try and narrow the gap to them.

Bassett's recent record away at Highworth has been a mixed one. Aitkenhead's team suffered a 1-0 defeat there last season in a game that they largely controlled. Prior to that, Bassett had won twice in their previous seven visits - with one of those triumphs being a playoff semi final.

Games between the teams are typically lively affairs - and Tuesday should be no different.
