Midlands 2 East South

Banbury Bulls returned to the top of the table after a 25-0 victory over Aylestone St James.

Props Andy Gilbert and Michael Boscott were both held up in the first 20 minutes, while captain Sean Bannister was stopped by a great tackle.

But just before half-time, Bannister was driven over from a line-out.

Bulls continued to dominate possession and territory, but struggled to score.

Forward pressure led to full back Guy Sturla notching try No 2 and more quick ruck ball allowed wing Jed Boyle to step inside and touch down.

Bannister made it 20-0 with a superb solo try, while debutant James Heywood beat the defence to complete the scoring on full-time.
