FOLLOWING their fine victory against table toppers Winget last weekend, Swindon will be looking to continue their improved run of form when they travel to local rivals Goatacre.

With seven games remaining Swindon would appear to need at least three more victories in order to secure a place in the Glos/Wilts Premier Division.

Skipper Will Nichols is forced to make a number of changes to last week's side, with batsman Paul Baden, Andy Compton and Neil Patel all unavailable. Patel has sadly had to move to Liverpool for work reasons.

Batsman Matt Baker, young Gloucestershire all-rounder Tom Fox, and the hard-hitting Arran Dickinson are included in their place, Dickinson making his 1st XI debut for the club following his big hundred last weekend.

Despite a fine performance last weekend, left arm-spinner Adrian Brabazon also misses out at the expense of the in-form Paul Stoddard.

Blaine Norridge's 2nds will be looking to reclaim their spot at the top of the 2nd XI division
