Coyle's return to lift newcomers

11 Aug 2016 By David Watters

Kidlington are hoping the return of attacking midfielder Lewis Coyle will see them record their first win in the EVO-STIK League Southern on Saturday.

The 26-year-old, pictured, played a key role in the club's march to the Hellenic League title last season and promotion to the EVO-STIK League Southern's Central Division.

After missing their 1-1 draw at Royston on the opening day and Tuesday night's 3-0 home defeat to Hanwell Town through a two match suspension, the Hellenic's 2015-16 'Player of the Season' is available on Saturday when The Greens host Farnborough.

New signings striker Jack Dunmall and midfielder Charlie Cassettari are also in contention for the weekend clash at Yarnton Road and assistant manager Paul Harwood said: "It will be a real boost to have these lads back in the squad."

Martin Wilkinson's Greens took last term's Hellenic title by seven points from second placed Thatcham Town after posting a final points total of 97 points. Along the way, they scored 188 goals and conceded 33 in 31 victories, four draws and just three defeats.
