OXFORD City will look to close the gap to second place when they travel to Maidstone United this weekend.

The Hoops, in third, make the journey to the Gallagher Stadium, hoping to close the four-point gap between the two sides.

Maidstone have a game in hand on City, in the race for the Vanarama National League South title, with Dorking Wanderers currently top on 54 points, followed by Maidstone (51) and City (47).

Last time out, the Hoops claimed a fourth victory in five National League South games with a 2-0 win over Hemel Hempstead Town at Court Place Farm.

Nana Owusu opened the scoring before the break, the forward firing a volley into the bottom corner for his second goal of the season.

City added a second in stoppage time when substitute Harvey Bradbury powered a header into the top left corner.

Maidstone lost 1-0 at Tonbridge Angels on Tuesday, but won four on the bounce before that defeat.

Maidstone’s squad includes ex-Wolves defender George Elokobi and Arsenal academy graduate Gavin Hoyte.

Banbury United, 17 points clear at the top of Pitching In Southern League Premier Central, don’t play until February 26, when they host Peterborough Sports.

In Southern League Division One Central, North Leigh are at home to Harlow Town, Thame United are at Didcot Town, Kidlington travel to Hertford Town, and Wantage Town are at home to Waltham Abbey.
