Swindon Captain Will Nichols makes two changes to the side narrowly beaten at Winget last week, as the County Ground welcomes local rivals Goatacre.

Keeper Darren Beasant and off-spinner Mo Zohaib replace Richard Mason and Andy Reed, in a better balanced side.

Nichols will look to continue his fine early-season form but will be looking for a greater contribution from the early-middle order.

The inclusion of Zohaib gives Nichols more options in the bowling attack, and take the pressure off openers Stinchcombe and Fox.

With Mason and Reed included in the 2nd XI this week, captain Blaine Norridge will be confident of victory at Malmesbury.

Dan Willis and Roger Willoughby also return to the side to boost the bowling attack.

With Adrian Brabazon injured, Mason may also provide the slow bowling option if required.

Phil Laggett takes his side to Wroughton, with Steve Cole and James Parkinson included following their recent taste of 2nd XI action.

Andy Phipps returns from injury to strengthen the bowling attack, and an experienced batting line-up includes Magnus Painter and Nick Parkinson.

Kevin Thompson's youthful 4th XI host Devizes, while Darren Beasant takes the Sunday 1st XI to Corsham for a West Trophy fixture and Alan Biggins leads the 2nd XI in a friendly at home to Buscot Park.
