BANBURY United earned a 2-2 draw at Swindon Supermarine despite having to play the second half with ten men after Leam Howards had been sent off.

The draw extends their unbeaten run in Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West to five games.

But Banbury went behind in the 34th minute to Ash Taylor’s effort.

They drew level in the 41st minute when Darius Browne scored from close range.

Howards was sent off in stoppage time for violent conduct after tangling with Ross Adams.

Despite the disadvantage, Banbury regained the lead in the 63rd minute through the prolific Ricky Johnson.

Josh Parsons levelled for the hosts 15 minutes from time but they were denied a win by keeper Jack Harding.
