Jeffrey has youthful side at the Spencer Stadium.

Banbury United boss Billy Jeffrey is concerned at the fitness level of his players after a weather enforced period without competitive games.

The Puritans' boss says the squad have done their best to stay in shape during the recent snowy conditions but is aware that stamina may be an issue.

"Over the last week we have managed to get to various gyms but training has been tough," Jeffrey told BBC Oxford.

"It is really difficult to gage exactly where we are in terms of fitness."

He added: "We have had one game in about eight or nine weeks now.

"It has been hard to find anywhere to train and we won't find what level we are at until that first game."

Banbury are set for their first match since New Year's Day at home to Southern League Premier leaders Farnborough on 19 Jan.
