Midlands Div 3 East South: Banbury continued their excellent run of form by thrashing Rushden & Higham 43-5 for their third league win on the trot - something they have not achieved for five years.

They ran in seven tries to suggest they have turned the corner after a dismal start to the season.

Duncan Ferguson, Ed Cummings and Darren Southam scored first-half tries, one converted by Tony Hurst, for a 17-0 half-time lead.

Others followed after the break from David Taylor (2), Ferguson and Barry Lalanne, with Hurst adding three conversions.
