Sudbury started the brighter of the two sides, with multiple corners and dangerous free kicks in quick succession, but they failed to trouble United keeper Jack Harding with the organised Banbury defence standing strong. United came into the game more with about 15 minutes of the half to go, forcing some comfortable saves from Sudbury’s keeper, before Ben Bradley was then adjudged to have pushed George with five minutes to go before the break and George took the penalty himself, firing high into the corner of the net to earn a half-time lead.

Sudbury put plenty of pressure on early in the second-half and got their goal when Ollie Peters played a flicked pass into Joe Neal who slotted past Harding with ease. Harding had to deny Neal from distance soon afterwards, before Myles Cowling had a goal disallowed for the visitors, while at the other end Banbury themselves had promising moments but were denied by a hard-working Sudbury defence as the points were ultimately shared.
