North Leigh are busy making plans for what they hope will be their best season ever, one which could establish them as the leading club in West Oxfordshire, following Witney Town's demise

The first-team management duo of Mark Gee and Dave Ebsworth have retained all of last season's first-team squad which finished sixth in the Hellenic League Premier Division last term.

They are also talking to several possible new signings

The club are looking for a new manager for their reserves, who have a successful record in Reserve Division 1, having won the championship twice in the last three years.

Those interested in the reserve team position should contact the club chairman Peter King on 01993 882727.

Senior training begins this Thursday at Eynsham Park (7pm).

Pre-season friendlies: Sat Aug 4 v Rugby Town (home); Tues Aug 7 v Pershore Town (away); Thurs Aug 9 v Headington Ams (home); Sat Aug 11 v Stourport Swifts (home).
