Wantage Town manager Andy Wallbridge is happy that central defender Stuart Cattell has rejected a lucrative move to North Leigh in favour of staying to help with their Premier Division promotion bid; Wallbridge said: “Stuart is a core part of a talented squad that wants to stay together to realise their collective ambition of achieving promotion to the Southern League, and playing together at a higher level."

Fourth-placed Wantage, who went out of the FA Carlsberg Vase to Poole last week, will be hoping to pick up three more points away to lowly Carterton tomorrow.

Vinny Byfield, Jon Rixon and Jack Smith return for Witney United’s trip to Oxfordshire rivals Thame United.

Witney are without Tom Smith (unavailable) and Pete Nagy, who is suspended.

Danny Thomas, who is at a wedding, misses Abingdon Town’s visit to Ascot United. But Sam Gordon, Tom Chase, Lewis Coyle, Liam Barson return to their squad.

Kidlington are really buzzing, having won five games on the bounce and seven of their last eight.

Gordon Geary’s third-placed side will be hoping to keep up that great run when they take on improving Old Woodstock Town at Eynsham Park.

Kidlington will have Jack Quainton back after suspension. Jimmy Deabill, who has recovered from a heavy cold, and Tom Woodbridge also return.

Central defender Danny Mason is progressing well after breaking his arm and hopes to be ready for selection over the Christmas & New Year period.

Division 1 West leaders Headington Amateurs face a tough encounter away to fifth-placed Purton.

Last season the two league encounters between the clubs produced 12 goals, with neither side prevailing.

James Brown returns to the squad after his one-match suspension as Headington seek their 12th win in 14 matches.
