Both Royal Wootton Bassett Town Men's and Women's First Team sides are in home action this weekend - and both teams are out to avenge early season defeats against the opponents they are facing.

On Saturday, the Men's First Team welcome Fairford Town to the Swindon Mercedes Stadium (Gerard Buxton Sports Ground) in their latest Hellenic League Premier Division derby encounter (3pm kick off).

A last minute goal saw Fairford triumph 1-0 when the teams met at Cinder Lane in August - earning the Reds their fourth win in their last five league meetings with Bassett.

Jonny Aitkenhead's side will be hoping to end that run against their rivals - and close the current gap between the teams in the table to just a single point.

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

Then on Sunday Poole Town are the visitors as Bassett return to South West Regional Women's Football League Premier Division action (Swindon Mercedes Stadium, 2pm kick off).

The Dolphins edged a tight game in Dorset in September - a result that saw them edge ahead in the teams' head-to-head which now stands at two wins for Poole, two draws and a solitary victory for Bassett.

Poole currently sit second in the table, but James Lally's fifth place side can cut the gap to just a single point with two games in hand still to play if they prevail.

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

Meanwhile, the Men's Development team are in away action against Park United in the Wiltshire League Premier Division on Saturday (2pm kick off).

Josh Connolly's side will be aiming to complete a season double over their opponents who they beat 2-1 at home courtesy of a last minute winner in August.

It's an important game for both teams with Park currently in the bottom four six points behind Bassett.
