Banbury Bulls coach Grant Holmes says his players need to keep pushing if they want to make the Oxfordshire Cup final squad.

Bulls secured fifth spot in Midlands 3 East South after defeating Leicester Forest 38-14 on Saturday, so may be tempted to ease off.

But Holmes said: “Although we have now secured ourselves a fifth-place finish, there is still a lot to play for in our final league fixture at Stewarts & Lloyds on April 18.

“Every player in that side as well as several players, who will be part of the second team, are all playing for a place in the 20 for the county cup final.

“It is something they all want to achieve, and the way to be part of the 20 is to perform come match day.”
