NEW College will be hopeful of a return to the top of the Wiltshire League Premier Division tomorrow as they play host to Marlborough Town.

Mark Teasdale’s youngsters have only dropped three points all season and are just a point off top side Calne Town with a game in hand, and will be confident of another victory against a midtable Marlborough side.

Third-placed Purton are looking to keep right on the coat tails of the top sides as they entertain Bromham, while Bromham - who currently prop up the division - are away at fellow strugglers Corsham Town.

In Division One, the pick of the games looks to be KC FC’s visit to Blunsdon United. Dave Hawkins has led his side to the summit and they are yet to taste defeat, but Blunsdon could prove a tricky proposition for them.

Joint-leaders SKS Blyskawica are at home against Castle Combe, and Intel travel to Wroughton Reserves. There is a midtable clash between Malmesbury Victoria and Swindon Nalgo, while AFC Abbey Rodbourne and Lower Stratton will both be hoping to improve their fortunes at the wrong end of the division.

Division Two sees runaway leaders Greenmeadow take on second-placed Byrons Wanderers. High-flying Swindon Irons are away at FC Chippenham Youth Reserves, and KMLC travel to Chiseldon.

Castle Combe Reserves face Ramsbury, Pembroke are at home against Blunsdon United Reserves, and basement boys Wilton are aiming for only their second win of the campaign as they tackle Marlborough Town Reserves.

There is also cup action, with Chalke Valley and Moredon Cheney going head to head in the third round of the Fountain Trophies Junior Knockout Cup.
