Banbury United make the short trip to Addison Road on Tuesday evening, 19:30 KO to take on Easington Sports in the annual Ron Thomas Memorial Trophy, a fixture steeped in local tradition and history.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the first staging of the Cup, which honors the memory of Ron Thomas, a true servant of Easington Sports who gave decades of loyal service to the club in countless roles, from marking pitches to manning the tea bar.

The Trophy was first contested in 1995, with Banbury edging a 3-2 win in a thrilling encounter. Since then, the fixture has become a regular and well-loved part of the local football calendar, celebrating community spirit and the strong ties between the two clubs.

Easington will be keen to put on a strong performance on home turf, while Banbury look to continue their preparations ahead of the new season. Expect a competitive clash, a healthy crowd, and a respectful tribute to a much-missed local football figure.
