North Leigh have bolstered their title-chasing squad with the capture of striker Mark Simms from Abingdon Town.

Simms, a prolific goalscorer at Premier Division level, is seen as a major capture for manager Mark Gee, who believes he will fill the void left by the departure of Liam Hope to Didcot Town.

Gee said: "Mark is a different player to Hopey, but he is full of goals and is a top player at this level.

"Liam was a goalscoring midfielder, whereas Mark is an out-and-out striker, but he is a confident player and I'm delighted to have him here."

Striker Chris Allen returns to the North Leigh squad for tomorrow's trip to Milton United, while Simms is named in the squad and could make his league debut.

Abingdon Town are smarting from the blow of losing Simms, and will also be without the suspended Danny Morgan for tomorrow's short trip to Wantage Town.

Defender Luke Beauchamp is ruled out through injury.

Bicester Town will be without the services of Dan Leggett (knee ligament), Nigel Emsden (groin) and Sean Bott (broken arm) when they travel to Pegasus Juniors.

Adam Doyle is doubtful with an ankle injury.

In Division 1 West, Clanfield are set to include new signing Stuart Hicks for their home clash with Cheltenham Saracens.

Hicks, who was formerly with Chipping Norton Town, has just returned from six months in America.

Eddie Everett (hamstring) is ruled out, while Marc Connelly is also missing as he is suffering from a whiplash injury following a minor car accident.
