Weekend preview: Bassett host Bath in Women’s Showcase

Royal Wootton Bassett Town will be hosting a Women's and Girls' Football Day on Sunday at the South West Regional Women's Football League Division One North fixture against Bath City (Sustain Stadium, 2pm kick off). Entry prices are being reduced to just £2 for adults and £1 for concessions with all children going free. The game will be preceded by a mini Under 7 Girls tournament while members of Bassett's newly formed Under 7 Girls team and Derry Hill United will serve as mascots for the main event. All are invited to attend - in particular members of our Girls' team and their parents and family members as we celebrate our Women's and Girls' section. Bath are a side Bassett are competing with for position in a competitive top half of the table. And Adam Wood's team will be aiming to complete what would be an impressive season double over Bath after a 2-1 victory at Twerton Park in October. In four games since their first competitive meeting last season, the teams have played out a string of closely fought, entertaining games and Sunday's clash will hopefully bring more of the same. Please do come along! Prior to that on Saturday the Men's First Team their to enjoy another break from league action when they visit Watlington Town in a rearranged Marsh Challenge Cup third round (2pm kick off). Bassett will be big favourites against the Hellenic League Division Two East side, who no doubt have their eyes on ruffling some feathers and causing an upset. The game will be the first competitive meeting between the teams since February 1999 when Bassett and Watlington were both in Hellenic League Division One. Of the four games the teams have played, Bassett have won three and drawn one.
