OXFORD City Stars will be out for revenge for their opening-day defeat, as they host Wightlink Raiders in South Division 1 of the English National League tomorrow (6.15).
Stars bounced back from the 7-2 defeat on the Isle of Wight last Saturday with a thrilling 8-7 success against London Raiders in their first home game the next day, but they will be glad of an early chance to hit back.
Stars will be without the services of Alan Green, who continues to recover from a back spasm.
Mike Whillock and Tom Avery are also unavailable, as they look for back-to-back home wins.
The visitors top the table, having won both of their opening matches, although Wightlink have a tough fixture today at home to the Chelmsford Chieftans.
Oxford fans will be hoping the benefit of a free Saturday will give their side fresher legs and a competitive edge.
