Banbury United Women’s Coach Anna Crane commented “We are delighted with the progress that our players have made at the weekly sessions and with the various activities put together by owner Stuart Davies and his staff at the Banbury Martial Arts Centre over the last few months. These sessions are in addition to the players’ normal weekly football training and are playing a key part in improving all their fitness levels which is being translated into results on the football field.

"Equally importantly the players are having great fun which is demonstrated by the consistently high turnout of our players at the sessions.

"We are very much looking forward to working with Stuart and the Centre for the rest of the season and into next season, as we strive for promotion to a higher level of football and to expand the Banbury United Women’s section.”
