Matt Clements’ men produced one of their best displays of the campaign when blowing away Banbury 3-0 at the Premier Plus Stadium.
Jordan Norville-Williams opened the scoring on the half-hour mark and Dylan Williams extended the advantage. Nabil Shariff then hit a late clincher to seal a third successive victory and a fourth win in five games.

Eynesbury climbed back into the United Counties League Premier Division top six last night.
Depleted Rovers won 3-1 at struggling St Andrews in a fixture being replayed after the initial staging was abandoned last month.
