BANBURY Bulls slipped to a 14-10 defeat at Old Coventrians in Midlands 2 West South.
Bulls fell behind to an Alex Telfer penalty, before Eddie Phillips replied in kind.
Telfer’s second penalty restored Old Coventrians’ lead, which they stretched further with a try from Matty Fielder.
Banbury hit back after the break with Carl Daniels finishing of a magnificent move, and Phillips adding the conversion.
Telfer’s third penalty gave the hosts a four-point cushion, but Banbury rallied late on and only solid home defence prevented them snatching victory.
