OXFORD City Stars welcome back two key players ahead of their crucial English National League encounter at home to Cardiff Devils tomorrow (6.15).

Although Stars haven’t won for three games, they will hope to build on last week’s 2-2 home draw with London Raiders, which lifted the hosts off the bottom.

The teams occupy the bottom two places in the South Division 1 table, but the return of Josh Oliver and Zsolt Masteleriu gives Stars a big boost.

Oliver returns to add some more teeth to the Stars attack, while Masteleriu is back after two games out through an injury picked up in the defeat at the Devils on January 18.

That game was Cardiff’s only victory in the last 11 games, a run that has seen them slump to the foot of the table.

Devils have a chance to leapfrog the Stars tonight at home to Solent Devils.
