PREMIER Division new boys Kidlington have been rocked by a bad injury to captain David Couling as they go in search of their first win of the season at Shrivenham tomorrow.
Couling suffered a badly broken ankle in Tuesday evening's 4-2 home defeat against Didcot Town.
He is still in hospital awaiting re-construtive surgery on the ankle, and will need it to be plated and pinned.
Couling also suffered serious damage to his ligaments and will be out for the rest of the season.
Kidlington will also be without the unavailable Craig Bloomfield and Steve Litten tomorrow, and have added Charlie Bough, James Philpott and Greg Boone to the squad.
They have strengthened their squad with the signing of former Oxford City midfielder Justin Lee, who links up with ex-Leicester star Garry Parker, who was a teammate at Court Place Farm.
Witney United will look to build on their magnificent midweek victory at Highworth when they meet up with former manager Ian Feaver at Ardley United.
They are boosted by the return to fitness of Mark McMeeking, although there will be late fitness tests on defenders Dave Tregurtha and Tom Smith, who missed the 4-1 win at Highworth.
Ardley have doubts over Matt Tarry (shin) and Darryl Clare (back).
Goalkeeper Scott Rose is unavailable for Carterton's trip to Henley Town. Chris Blakely (thigh) is also ruled out.
Milton United welcome back Garry Hartley for their home clash with North Leigh.
Jamie Newport is on holiday, while Jason Brizell (groin) faces a late test.
Mark Lewis returns after having 24 stitches removed from a facial injury.
They will be looking to continue their fine start that sees them on top of the table yet to concede a goal.
