ROSS Jenkins is looking forward to a reunion with David Oldfield tomorrow.
The two managers meet for the first time since the former Oxford City boss left the RAW Charging Stadium for Weymouth in January.
Jenkins takes his side to the south coast for a Bank Holiday weekend clash in Vanarama National League South (3pm), before hosting Hampton & Richmond Borough on Monday.

The head coach worked under Oldfield at City and expects a warm reception – and a close contest.
Jenkins said: “It’ll be good to see David, I haven’t seen him since he left the club.
“We’ve spoken a couple of times but it’ll be good to have a catch-up before the game.
“He’ll know a little bit about what I want. It’s going to be a tactical game, there might be some mind games in there but we know both teams work hard.
“Whoever applies themselves better than the other team will get the three points.”
Weymouth were relegated from the National League last season and their poor form has continued, losing all four games to sit bottom of the table.
Jenkins said: “We’ve got to put our foot on them and really apply our game.
“I think they’ve got a win coming, I’ve watched some of their footage and they’re definitely due one.
“We’ve just got to make sure it’s not against us.”
Meanwhile, Banbury United welcome another former Football League side to north Oxfordshire when they take on Hereford in National League North tomorrow (3pm).
The Bulls are a phoenix club for Hereford United, who went bust in 2014.
Banbury manager Andy Whing knows all about the visitors, having spent four months there as first-team coach from September 2019.
The Puritans are aiming to claim another scalp after winning 2-1 at Darlington last Saturday, while they drew 0-0 with Boston United in their previous home game.
It has helped Banbury pick up ten points from their first four matches at step two, putting them second in the table.
Hereford have also made a good start, with their seven points putting them fourth ahead of tomorrow’s clash.
Banbury go to Leamington on Bank Holiday Monday.
