THREE local sides could take giant strides towards claiming their respective league titles this evening.

Chippenham can return to the top of the Southern Premier with just two to play with a win at Hemel Hempstead.

Highworth would give themselves breathing space at the Hellenic Premier summit with three points at home to Almondsbury.

And Shrivenham will strengthen their grip on the Division One West crown with a maximum return at Winterbourne.

Chippenham boss Steve White will be without Ben Kirk for the rest of the season after the midfielder suffered ligament damage against Bedford on Saturday.

Otherwise the Bluebirds travel in good shape.

Highworth will hand a recall to Steve Richardson after a five-week break from first team duty.

He replaces Nick McRae who is out for what remains of the campaign with a cartilage injury.

Mark O'Hara and Sean Terry return from suspension but Jamie Mills is still banned.

Shrivvy have defensive problems with Steve Thomas and Paul Carson out of the country, while Mark Peters damaged his ankle playing Sunday football.

Russ Bryne has a knee injury and also misses out but Nathan White, Graeme Little and Rich Tilling will return to the squad.

In the Screwfix Premier, Corsham who continue to pursue leaders Bideford host Brislington and Devizes can do their Wiltshire rivals a big favour by taking points off the pacesetters in Devon.

In the First Division, Biddestone travel to Shrewton.
