With the offender Aaron Dunne being sent off, Banbury dominated against ten men.

Three minutes before half-time, George Nash made it 2-0 from Callum White’s cross.

Darius Browne made it 4-0 five minutes later after good work by Bell and Barcelos, before substitute Leam Howards completed their nap hand.
