Weekend preview: Women back with Frome visit as Men face Foresters

This Sunday sees Royal Wootton Bassett Town's Women's First Team return to action as they travel to take on Frome Town in the South West Regional Women's Football League Division One Eastern (2pm kick off). And, looking to kick off the new year with three points as they reassume their promotion push, Adam Wood and his side will be aiming to seal a season double over their opponents after Bassett recorded an emphatic 5-1 win against Frome when they met at the Sustain Stadium in September. Prior to that Saturday sees the Men's First Team entertain in form Cinderford Town in the Hellenic League Premier Division (Sustain Stadium 3pm kick off). It will only be the third ever league meeting with Cinderford though - and the first since the 1990-91 Hellenic League Division One campaign when the Foresters won both matches 3-0. However, Bassett did triumph the last time the teams met, coming from 2-0 down before winning on penalties in a dramatic FA Cup first qualifying round fixture in 2020-21. With fond memories of that night, Sam Collier will be hoping to inspire his team to a repeat of that result. Admission on Saturday is £7 for adults, £4 for concessions and free for RWBTFC youth members. Saturday also sees local derby action for the Development team as they visit Blunsdon in the Wiltshire League Premier Division (2.15pm kick off). After a 2-0 win back in September, Mark Simpkins and his team will be aiming for a season sweep of their rivals.
