Cherwell League: Former Shipton-under-Wychwood seamer Paul Humphreys is set to make his debut for Division 1 leaders Aston Rowant in their top-of-the-table clash at Banbury Twenty.

Humphreys' first-team opportunities at Shipton have been limited with the emergence of the club's youngsters.

And his arrival at Rowant is timely with Ryan Dutton unavailable, while the batting is boosted by the return of Dave Ridgeley.

Twenty expect to be unchanged as they look to make inroads into Rowant's 40-point lead.

Oxford Downs, who moved up to joint second with Luke List hitting a spectacular 151 not out in their ten-wicket victory over Challow & Childrey last Saturday, have wicket-keeper Noel Pearson back for their trip to Buckingham.

Downs also include Charlie Sutton, a left-arm seamer and top-order batsman, who is back from university.

Brothers Matthew and Andy Thatcher are unavailable for Buckingham, so Ed Jones comes in along with Adam Izzard.

Neil Podbury and Mike Konschel are unavailable for Challow & Childrey's home game against bottom club Kimble.

They are replaced by Julian Penney and leg spinner Steve Watts.

Kimble will be without Ali Russel, but James Wright is back.

Seamer Paul Snell is unavailable for Shipton's trip to Dinton, and his place goes to Nick Goacher.

Mike Lyons is missing for Dinton, and Rod Brown comes into the side.

Steve Cox is missing for Sandford St Martin as they visit Bourton Vale, but Phil Patterson returns to the side.

Bourton skipper Phillips Hawtrey is out with a damaged finger, so Paul Lazenbury takes over the reins.

Mark Whitney and Tommy Richardson replace the unavailable Nick Anderson and Max Brown.
