Following last week's washout at Dumbleton, Swindon captain Will Nichols will be hoping for better fortune with the weather as he takes his side to play Gloucestershire side Winget.

Nichols makes three enforced changes, as Paul Stoddard is getting married, with Roger Willoughby providing moral support, and young Dan Willis unavailable.

Pete Stinchcombe returns from holiday to lead a skeleton bowling attack, with all-rounder Tom Fox and Richard Mason included. The side is packed with batting, and Nichols should be confident of victory.

The inexperience of the 2nd XI was evident in their 30-run defeat against Dumbleton last week, although captain Blaine Norridge will have been particularly pleased with the debut of young South African Craig Henkel, who took two wickets and scored 60 with the bat in a fine all round performance.

Redmarley are the visitors to the County Ground, with more discipline required in all departments if Swindon are to bounce back.

Phil Laggett will also be hoping his 3rd XI can post an opening victory following a narrow defeat against Morden Royal Oak last week.

His experienced side travel to Wanborough in the Wiltshire League, and include Nick Parkinson and Neil Williamson who replace the injured Chris Mabberley and Robin Sawyer, who has returned to university.

Kevin Thompson's 4th XI host Corsham with a number of promising youngsters included in his side.

The Sunday 2nd XI entertain Andover at the County Ground in the Border League as defending champions. Alan Biggins has the luxury of including Australian Brett Sydney-Smith in the side, and there is also a season's debut for slow bowler Mike Hayward.
