CAPTAIN James Clarke is an injury doubt for Oxford City Stars’ home clash with Wightlink Raiders in South Division 1 tomorrow (6.15).
Clarke picked up a shoulder knock in Stars’ 7-3 defeat to Cardiff Devils on the opening weekend and could be out for up to four weeks.
Having also lost 9-7 at Invicta Dynamos, Stars will be desperate to bounce back by recording their first win since returning to Division 1.
Raiders, who hail from the Isle of Wight, played two cup matches last week, so only open their league programme today at home to Milton Keynes Thunder.
