BANBURY United slipped further down the Vanarama National League North table after suffering a 2-1 defeat at home to Rushall Olympic.
Ronan Maher hit the post for the visitors after quarter of an hour, however the Walsall loanee opened the scoring just moments later when he took advantage of some poor defending and finished inside the penalty box.

Ken Charles brought the Puritans level when he netted from the penalty spot, however the away side nudged back in front with a penalty of their own.
Owen Oseni converted from 12 yards, with just over 20 minutes to go, and Banbury were unable to find another equaliser.
The Puritans are now third from bottom in National League North, and three points adrift of safety.
