Banbury manager Steve Brooker will use Saturday's second half performance as motivation ahead of this weekend's trip to Winchester.

Despite Banbury’s late 5-4 defeat by South Premier Hockey League leaders Old Cranleighans, Brooker feels his side are coming to terms back in division one.

Brooker said: “We made a fantastic comeback from a three-goal deficit in the second half against the leaders and we think ourselves unlucky to come away with nothing.

“But this shows our capabilities and with a performance like the one in the second half we can go one better and claim all three points at Winchester and get back to where we deserve to be.”

Fifth-placed Winchester have won three and lost three and top scorer Micah Smithard could be the one for Banbury to keep an eye on.
