Chances came and went for both sides throughout the game, but it took until the 67th minute for the deadlock to be broken.

The Bucks were caught out by a long ball from Banbury's Tai Fleming. Orrin Pendley was unable to cut out the ball and George Ball found himself goal side of the defender.

His first effort was blocked by the goalkeeper but he put the re-bound into an empty net.

But after supporters had been made to wait for over an hour for a goal, just four minutes later another arrived.

The Bucks cleared a visiting set piece and broke through Ricardo Dinanga who won a corner.

Remi Walker's corner then wasn't dealt with by the Banbury backline, with Matty Stenson in possession to hook it home at the far post.

Both sides had chances to win it, before the Bucks were reduced to ten men on 90 minutes, as Kyle Storer was handed a straight red card.
