Oxford Devils face another tough double-header in the National Basketball Conference this weekend when they will be without three key players.

They make the long trip to Colchester tonight in Essex and then take on second-placed team North West London tomorrow at the White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre (4.45).

The Devils have suffered a blow with news that Flo Blankerley is unavailable due to work commitments in Germany for the next two weeks.

Star guard Carl Black is also out as he is in Iraq for a week.

The Devils will also be without Neil Baker for tomorrow's clash.
