A FIRST-HALF header from Ricky Johnson and a late Zac McEachran strike gave Banbury United at 2-0 win against Yate last Saturday.
The victory moves them into the Division 1 South & West play-off places in the Evo-Stik Southern League.
Banbury took the lead in the 21st minute, when McEachran’s corner from the right saw Johnson head home.
Just after half-time, Johnson had an effort disallowed for offside.
Yate had a glorious chance to equalise when Callum Laird’s cross was met by Jake Cox but he put the ball wide when it looked easier to score.
Banbury always looked dangerous on the break and seven minutes from time they sealed victory with their second goal.
From George Nash’s pass, McEachran fired into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area.
