IT'S crunch time for the Premier Division title chasers this week as Stratton Crosslink take on Wroughton.

Both sides are locked on 62 points Crosslink in third and Wroughton sitting in the runners-up spot on goal difference.

Victory for Crosslink would set up an exciting encounter against leaders Shrewton next week.

"The next couple of games could decide whether we finish as champions, runners-up or in third spot," said Stratton Crosslink boss Albert Dearing.

"I have got a lot of respect for Chris Pethick and his Wroughton side, they have beaten us twice this season but perhaps it's our turn.

"We have conceded just one goal in our last six games and that seems to be our strong point at the moment.

"Top scorer Rick Casey will be missing from the squad, Brian Blake will return from suspension and Martin Grounsell is available again.

"It's sure to be a competitive game and we are looking forward to it."

Wroughton boss Pethick is without regulars Dave Guthrie, Sean Clarke, Jamie Richards and Lee Northcott.

"A couple of players took a knock last week and I'm not sure whether or not they will be fit," said the Wroughton boss. "Which ever way the game goes it is sure to suit Shrewton.

"All concerned at the club are looking forward to the game and hopefully we can make it three wins out of three this season."

Shrewton, bidding to earn a place in the Screwfix Direct League next season by finishing in the top two of the section, entertain bottom-of-the-table Chiseldon Castrol.

Another close game could be at Aldbourne when the home side entertain fourth place Bradford Tow.

Intermediate section leaders Dunbar Westside will be hoping that they don't need another late rally to beat Biddestone Reserves while second-placed Wanborough United entertain Down Ampney.

Two points continue to separate the top five sides in the Junior Division with the weekend fixtures favouring Aldbourne Reserves who visit bottom club Blunsdon United Reserves.

Cricklade Town Reserves entertain Minety, who are one off the bottom.

Wootton Bassett United managed to scramble victory with a goal in the 93rd minute against Sporting HKQ and they will need to settle more quickly if they are to get a result against Chiseldon Castrol Reserves.

Ferndale Rodbourne have by far the toughest fixture with a trip to Bromham, the home side are in a good run at present.

Wroughton Reserves meet Downey Ampney Reserves at the Weir Field.
