Banbury Bulls coach Grant Holmes did not find their 22-17 victory at Northampton Old Scouts on Saturday relaxing viewing.

Holmes said the Midlands 2 East South clash was “like being on a theme park ride”.

“One minute we were playing some attractive rugby and looking quite comfortable, and the next thing we were giving away silly penalties and trying to be too clever,” he said.

“It was very much a case of going from high to low to high again!”
