​Puritans set for Bishops battle

​United were denied any football last weekend when their trip to Stourbridge was postponed due to a frozen pitch, the same fate having claimed the Oxfordshire Senior Cup game with Oxford United four days earlier, that game now due to take place next Tuesday night.

With the weather forecast looking more favourable over the coming days, Banbury therefore seem set to return against a side who were just one place and one point below them in the league going into their match on Tuesday night against fellow strugglers Bromsgrove Sporting, meaning they could have swapped places in the standings before the weekend’s game.

And it will mean something of a six-pointer given Banbury themselves are only four points above the relegation zone, their last game having seen them win 2-1 at AFC Sudbury on January 4.

Prior to their game with Bromsgrove, Bishop’s Stortford hadn’t played since New Year’s Day when they were beaten at home by Bedford Town.
