FOLLOWING their shock six-wicket win at home to Wiltshire League leaders Marlborough last weekend, Nationwide House make the journey to Westinghouse tomorrow.

The match will see the two lowest sides in the league battle it out, with Westinghouse currently occupying the one relegation spot.

Joe Perkins’ side features only one change from last week’s important win, with Kev Flay returning to strengthen the batting line up at the expense of Adam Tooze, who drops down to the seconds.

“Back to back wins would do wonders for the team’s confidence and get the side further towards safety," said skipper Perkins.

Elsewhere in the division, Malmesbury continue their fight to pull themselves away from relegation trouble as they welcome Great Bedwyn.

Goatacre, who have slid down to mid-table in recent weeks, will host Calne at home, who are one place below them in the table.

Meanwhile, Purton will be looking to build on their win over Calne last week, as they face one of their toughest tests of the season against second-placed Potterne.

Top of the table Marlborough play host to Winsley in a clash that will see two fancied sides for the league title go head-to-head.
