Swindon enter the third week of the league season looking to build on last weekend's victory over local rivals Goatacre.

One win and one defeat sees them sat in midtable with 27 points, an average of 13.5.

With other sides already having gained 45 league points Swindon will need a big win against Biddestone on Saturday if they are to avoid slipping behind in the title race.

Skipper John Baden has only one change to make with vice captain Tim Barton unavailable.

Matt Baker, himself unavailable against Goatacre, slots back in as a direct replacement in the middle order.

South African Bruce Martin got his maiden 50 last week and will again be looking to make a significant contribution with the bat along with Arran Dickinson who has also shown some good early season form.

Baden again takes six front line bowlers with him Roger Willoughby claimed five wickets last weekend and will look to continue in a similar vain.

Will Nichols, Bruce Martin and Irfan comprise the seam attack, James Parkinson and Mo Zohaib provide the variety with their off spin.

Swindon 2nd sit on top of Division 1 of the 2nd XI league following two emphatic victories. This week they host Dumbleton and skipper Darren Beasant again looks to have a strong side at his disposal.

Andy Compton smashed an unbeaten 123 last week and will doubtless be looking to terrorise the Dumbleton attack in a similar fashion, with the skipper also showing good early season form and batters Liam Tucker and Anthony Spencer chasing first XI places Swindon will be looking to bat their opponents out of the game.

Dom O'Neill, Tom Davies, Mike Wilson and Max Whiting comprise a talented and youthful attack, along with the transformed Anthony Spencer who claimed four wickets last week.

Swindon field one of their strongest 3rd XI sides for a number of seasons with several players returning.

Simon Barnett and Shabbir Mostafa will look to follow on from their half centuries whilst, skipper Nick Parkinson and Danny Baker both return. Shank Gorg plays his first game of the season.

The 4th XI entertain Beanacre and will be looking to build on last week's victory.

Kev Thompson returns from a spell on the sub continent.

On Sunday the 1st XI travel to Challow looking to defend their unbeaten record in the Border League. The 2nd XI play Purley in the same competition.
