Team Bath 2, Banbury Utd 2 Banbury United were left kicking themselves after throwing away a two-goal lead in their Southern League Premier Division clash on Saturday.

They got off to a dream start when midfielder Ollie Stanbridge fired them in front with just two minutes gone, crashing home a cross from Andy Baird after good work from Neil Lazarus.

It followed a huge kick upfield from goalkeeper Alan Foster.

On 11 minutes, Banbury doubled their lead with a cracker from Baird.

He seized on a misplaced header by Peter Tisdale, before flicking the ball home over the stranded Team Bath keeper Darren Chitty.

However, Banbury suffered a blow after 32 minutes when defender Kieran Sullivan limped off with a recurring back injury.

In the 37th minute, the home side got back in the game when Sean Canham netted from a dubious free-kick.

On 74 minutes, Team Bath levelled through substitute Jake Reid after Banbury failed to deal with a free-kick.

Banbury Utd: Foster, Pond, Kinch, Sullivan (Jackson 32), Saulsbury, Fuller, Stanbridge, Lamb, Blossom (Redknap 72), Baird, Lazarus. Subs (not used): Gooderick, Bridges, Tricker.
