In Division One of the Wessex League, Amesbury and Downton both have home games.

Amesbury welcome Petersfield to Bonnymead Park, whilst Downton will play AFC Fawley at the Brian Whitehead Sports Ground.

Salisbury Ladies FC travel to Durrington FC Ladies for their latest league fixture on Sunday. Kick-off is at 2 pm.

Salisbury RFC's first team travel to Marlborough for their Regional 2 Tribute South Central league fixture. It will be a tough fixture against the side sitting top of the table with a perfect start to the season. Salisbury currently sit in 9th, having won only one of their opening four fixtures.

With their second team also away to Warminster, it falls to the third team to provide the entertainment at Hudson's Field this weekend with a tie against Oakmeadians II. It's a 3 pm kick-off.
