Oxford City Stars will be without Grant Bailey, Will Skaife and Jacob Smith when they travel to Solihull Barons in ENIHL South Division A on Saturday.

The trio are banned for their part in a mass brawl which broke out at the end of their 4-3 home victory against Coventry last Sunday.

Dave Tyler could take over as netminder, with Kevin McGurk injured and James Skaife unwell.

Coach Darryl Morvan has urged the team to use their performance against Coventry as a springboard for the remainder of their league campaign.

"The team showed the intensity and determination last Sunday that was the trademark of their performances last year," said Morvan.

"We must now strive to attain this same level for our remaining games, both in the League and the Cup.

"With the depth of experience and ability we have in our team and with leaders such as Darren Elliott and Alan Green setting an example for others to follow, I have every confidence we will be able to compensate for the non-availability of the suspended players."
