Sports' new boss Eddie Nix is looking for a win to kick start their season when the Division One East side host Winterbourne in the preliminary round of the SBJ Insurance Challenge Cup.
He is set to play Nick Neal (pictured) and Ryan Luckett at the front after pair linked up well during Launton Reserves 4-1 win against Clanfield's second string last Saturday.
Nix, now fit after a hernia operation, says every player will be given an equal chance. "I know we lost 1-0 in my first game, I only had the chance for one training session. I regard Saturday as my first real match in charge. I know it's the cup, but if we get a good win that will set us up nicely for the league game against Thame."
Team from: Clifford, Moore, J Lisseter, Bland, Jenkins, Neal, Eldridge, Blossom, Gregor, Durrant, Ross, Luckett, G Bedford, Jones, Tattersall.
