OXFORD City Stars will be without their influential captain Darren Elliott when they make the return trip to the Isle of Wight to face the Wightlink Raiders today in South Division 1.

Stars lost 5-1 last weekend, and will be up against it against the league leaders.

Andrew Shurmer and Jamie Francis-Barrie are also unavailable.

Earlier this season, Stars drew 2-2 on the island, and aside from last week’s defeat, have an impressive record against the islanders.

But Raiders have put together an unbeaten run of 16 games, and lead the table by six points.

With Elliott ruled out, head coach Ken Forshee will have to make some line changes.

Tomorrow, Oxford City Stars 2nd host Chelmsford Warriors in South Division 2 (4.15pm).
