FAIRFORD Town go into tonight’s game with local rivals Highworth looking to bounce back from their heavy weekend defeat at the hands of Ascot United.
The 6-1 loss ensured Fairford stay in trouble in the Hellenic Premier bottom three, and they will be looking to take home all three points in a bid to haul themselves away from relegation trouble.
The game at Cinder Lane will be the first time the two sides have met this season, with the return fixture being played in April, and both sides will be looking to secure the local bragging rights.
Highworth will be looking to get back to winning ways themselves after a 1-0 defeat at the hands of league leaders Oxford City Nomads, and three points are vital if they are to keep pace with the sides at the top of the league.
Despite defeat in their last outing, Highworth go into the game in good form having only lost twice in their last 14 league and cup matches.
