FTL Futbol Hellenic League

Wantage Town boss Richard Bourne is relishing a crack at his former club manager, Andy Lyne, as they host Witney United in the first round of the SBJ Sports Insurance Brokers Cup at Alfredian Park on Saturday.

Wantage, who produced one of their best displays of the season to beat Highworth last weekend, should be at full strength for the clash.

Bourne, a former Witney Town player under Lyne, said: “Witney are in great form at the moment, and Andy has built a great squad of players.

“I’m looking forward to it though, because it will be nice to catch up with Andy and my former assistant manager, Andy Wallbridge.”

Witney will be without Kevin Lewis (ankle) and striker Ben Thompson (unavailable), but there is a return from injury for Wallbridge.

Andrew Younie is also back.

Kidlington welcome back skipper Emmett McGovern for their trip to Division 1 East side Launton Sports. Denel Thomas is suspended.

Milton United are without Bradley Chalmers and Dwight Jones for their Hellenic League Cup first round clash with Division 1 East side Wokingham & Emmbrook.

Tom Butler and Bryn Ingram are both away.

Abingdon Town are without captain Jason Thomas with an Achilles injury for their trip to Chinnor.

In the Premier Division, struggling Bicester Town travel to Reading Town.

They have been boosted by the news that striker Dan Leggett has rejected a move to Abingdon Town.

Bicester will be without James Kyberd (suspended), Dave Millward (unavailable), Luke Phillips (knee), Nigel Emsden (groin) and Nathan Hunt (thigh).

In Division 1 West, Clanfield include new signing Kieran Davis, a striker who has joined from Premier Division outfit Milton United, for the trip to Pewsey Vale.

Defender Stuart Hicks (work) and striker Steve Knight (hamstring) are ruled out.

However, Ashley Johnson returns, despite a broken hand, as does goalkeeper Chris Brain, who missed last Saturday’s 6-0 victory over Cricklade Town with a flu bug.
