Midland 2 East: Banbury Bulls, having lost to Market Bosworth by more than 40 points only three weeks ago, showed home much they have improved when going down only 24-13 in the return at Bodicote Park.

In fact, Banbury actually led 13-0 just after half-time, but they could not stay with the Leicestershire side in the last half-hour.

Andy Noyce's 25th-minute penalty put Bulls ahead, and their lead was increased by tries from wingers Chris Brown and James Taylor.

However the lead was not to last long, as Market Bosworth took full advantage of a stiff breeze in their favour.
