JOHN Brough wants North Leigh to make Eynsham Park a fortress as they welcome local rivals Wantage Town in their first home game of the season tonight.

Brough’s tenure got off to the perfect start as the Millers won 1-0 at Bridgwater Town in their Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West opener on Saturday.

But he believes home form will make the difference.

He said: “We go into the game on the back of a good win, but we have to cement that with another.

“We really need to be looking to get three points from our home games if we want to challenge.”

Defender Matt Woodley is back from suspension for the Millers, who are still without midfielder Lance Williams (thigh) and Callum McNish (banned).

Adam Doyle and Jake Johns return for Wantage after missing the 3-0 defeat to Paulton Rovers, while Aaron Ferris comes straight in after re-signing for the club.

But the Alfredians are without unavailable midfielder Harry Halls and injured Mason Thompson (heel), while player-manager Stuart Cattell is also a doubt (bruised foot).

Andy Ballard is back from suspension as his Didcot Town side travel to Evesham United looking for a response to their 5-1 humbling by Swindon Supermarine.

Harry Beer is back from illness, but The Railwaymen are still without Luke Carnell (ankle), Alex Woodhouse (foot), Nick Thorne (dead leg) and Ryan Barney (knee).

Depleted Kidlington are forced to call upon reserve team players as they entertain Hanwell Town in Division 1 Central, with just 11 fit senior players.

Chris Weedon (hamstring) and Ben Fitzmartin (groin) join a lengthy list of absentees alongside the injured Ben Weedon, suspended Lewis Coyle and Kris Clarke and unavailable Mark Flanagan and James McGowan.

Tom Franklin and Ben Willoughby both come into the side after missing out on Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Royston Town.

In the Premier Division, defender Michael Hopkins comes into the Banbury United squad as they host Slough Town.
