THE DIGS six-a-side soccer league is coming to Devizes after a successful season in Swindon.

The new competition kicks off on September 1 on the new Astroturf pitches at Devizes Sports Centre.

Fixtures will be played every Wednesday evening, and organiser Derek Leppard is urging interested teams to sign up.

"The league has been the talk of Swindon and hopefully it will be the talk of Devizes too," he said.

"We are coming to Devizes because we don't believe there is anything like this in the area.

"There is a big catchment zone around Devizes, which includes Chippenham and Trowbridge and we have room for 36 teams.

"Every team will get one game a week on a Wednesday evening from 6pm, and as well as the league games there will be cups and an inter-league competition with Swindon."
