Town were up against it from the 13th minute when keeper Louis Connor was red carded after bringing down a  Banbury forward in the penalty area with Jimmy Fry having to take over in goal.

The Puritans  duly took the lead from the resulting spot kick and went two up just before the break.  Ten man Town battled hard but  Banbury scored twice more in the second half to complete an ultimately comfortable win.
