THORNBURY and Rockhampton are gearing up for their first big West of England Premier League Prem 2 Glos/Wilts derby of the season on Saturday.

And both sides know how crucial it is to win and put pressure on the top three in the table.

There is little separating the sides with Rockhampton in fourth place at the moment, and Thornbury sitting a place below them in fifth.

And the tightness of the situation means there is just one point between the sides with them dead level as well with two wins and two losses from their four league matches so far this season.

Meanwhile, Chipping Sodbury will be looking to put a three-game losing streak in the West of England Premier League Gloucestershire division behind them when they travel to face a tough Stroud outfit on Saturday.
