14 Jun 2010 - Mixed Finals Weekend
The Banbury mixed team disapointingly lost the semi-final to Staines 2-1. It was Staines who dominated the early exchanges but eventually Banbury took control of the game.
Howver it was Staines who took the lead when they scored a scrappy goal and minutes later Chris Boyle gave away a penalty-flick and Staines found themselves 2-0 up.
Banbury dominated the second half but a mixture of some poor passing in the final third, some poor finishing and a failure to score any of their 10 short corners eventually cost Banbury a place in the final.
Craig Irvine did score a well taken goal late on but it was not to be and Banbury left the pitch frustrated they lost a game they should have won.
