The flanker, who bagged two tries in the victory, limped off two minutes from the end.

Fly half Pete Papenfus bagged a try, three conversions and a penalty in assured display.

Banbury also scored through Adam Walsh, James Taylor, a penalty try, and a Tony Hurst conversion.

Ben Lacy scored two tries against his former club as Harwell beat Didcot 32-15 in BB&O 1 South.
