The final stretch is upon us – six weeks, eight games, playoff spots waiting to be filled.
The Magpies, spurred on by a couple of decent results in the last 10 days, take on a Banbury United side we’ve won just two out of their last 12 as they begin to battle a monstrous 12 remaining league fixtures through to the end of April.
A big final six weeks coming up. We’ve done very well so far, but now is the time to stand up and be counted. Eight games left to secure a playoff spot and we’re going to need every last drop of energy from everyone to make sure we’re in there come the end of April – Andy Preece

An afternoon to forget for the Magpies down in Oxfordshire as the Puritans rattled off three unanswered goals to take the points.
