Witney captain James Lamb could miss tomorrow’s home game with Reading in South West 1 East due to a hand injury.
Lamb will have a fitness test, while the leaders welcome back Phil Gouldie and Jake Thomas.
Witney joint coach John Campbell was pleased with last week’s 42-18 victory at Buckingham and hopes for win No 4 against Reading.
He said: “We kept our shape and ended up winning, although the scoreline flattered us.”
Wallingford add flanker Pete Holton, fly half Oli Henderson and lock Jermain Webster to the squad for their trip to Buckingham.
Neither side have won a match yet, so Wallingford will be hoping to get off the mark against the division’s basement boys.
Banbury head to Birmingham’s Camp Hill in search of their first win in Midlands 1 West.
Flanker and captain Sean Bannister is likely to be out until 2011 with a broken leg, so Henry Teare comes in to replace him.
Coach Grant Holmes, who was frustrated to have to make six changes last week, said: “Greater commitment is required for this team to show its real potential.”
