Bicester Town have suffered another blow after defender Dean Smith (pictured) agreed to join Premier Division rivals Witney United.

Smith, who has been playing at wing back, is the second player to make the switch to Marriotts Stadium, following the recent departure of Vinny Byfield.

Bicester boss Tim Fowler, whose side host Milton United tomorrow, said: "It's disappointing to lose him, but he has been a very honest and committed player for me."

Danny Bone (hamstring) misses out.

Byfield returns from suspension as Witney United host fellow high-fliers Flackwell Heath.

Jimmy Griffin (ankle) and Luke Brandon (groin) are doubtful, while Chris Johnson remains sidelined with an ankle problem.

Meanwhile, manager Andy Lyne hopes to have completed the signing of Smith in time to make his debut.

Leading scorer Jimmy Deabill returns from injury for Kidlington's home clash with Carterton.

The striker has already scored four times in two games against Carterton this season, with Kidlington beating them 4-0 away in the league and 5-1 in the Floodlit Cup.

Nathan Meade is back in contention after returning from South Africa, where he joined his St Kitts and Nevis teammates for the World Cup draw.

Jack Quainton, Chris Gilkes and Jordan Weaver also return for a Kidlington side unbeaten in their last ten outings.

North Leigh are at home to Highworth Town, looking to move into the top three.

Mark Simms is set to make his league debut, while defender Joe Wood is set to return from university for his first start of the season.

Simon Futcher and Stuart Huxley are back from holiday.

Injured-ravaged Abingdon Town will have 11 first-team players ruled out when they host unbeaten leaders Almondsbury.

Midfielders Alex Mott, Jason Thomas, Danny Thomas, Craig Antcliffe, Ashley Fell, Aaron Williams, Mark Flanagan and Colin Ryan are all doubtful, as are defenders Luke Beauchamp, Christian Perkins and Paul Alder.

Phil Martin (ankle) and the suspended duo of Adam Hamp and Leon Gordon miss Ardley United's trip to basement boys Harrow Hill.

In Division 1 West, Clanfield are without six players for their trip to leaders Easington Sports.

Chris Hunt and Chris Connell are unavailable (holiday), while Ashley Johnson (work), Eddie Everett and Reece Winney (both hamstring) and Gary Morrison (ankle) are ruled out.

Defender Alan Rogers has joined Carterton, but Tom Radcliffe returns after two months out.

Headington Amateurs are without defenders Chris Baker, Robert Parsons and James Gray for their home clash with Launton Sports.

Launton striker Aaron Davies returns after six weeks out with an ankle injury, while midfielder Paul Anderson has completed a ban. Bicester struck by Smith departure.
