Midlands 2 East South

Captain Sean Bannister and wing Jed Boyle each bagged a brace of tries as Banbury Bulls won 39-3 at Northampton Old Scouts.

The solid display keeps Banbury six points clear the top – although they have played two more games.

Bulls led 25-3 at the break thanks to flanker Bannister’s double and scrum half Grant Holmes, plus two conversions and two penalties from centre Mike Smith.

Smith converted Boyle’s second-half double, while flanker Darren De Bruyn was sin-binned.
