Banbury United face a big week as they compete in the Emirates FA Cup and Pitching In Southern League.
This weekend, United make the short trip to face Vanarama National League North outfit Leamington in the Second Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Cup. The Brakes, who are still yet to play a league fixture, are managed by Paul Holleran. He completed his 500th game in charge after ten years at The Phillips 66 Community Stadium last year.
Leamington confirmed that whilst matchday access to the stadium is restricted, the club’s match with United this Saturday will be available for supporters to watch in full via a live streaming service.
Tuesday evening saw The Puritans record a 2-0 victory over Hednesford Town.
New signing Alex Henshall took just 21 minutes to endear himself to home supporters as he curled in a brilliant left footed strike on his debut.
With ten minutes left, Kelvin Langmead’s powerful header at the far post wrapped up the points for the home side.

Next Tuesday, Andy Whing’s side go to Nuneaton Borough looking to build on Tuesday evening’s win.
The match, between two big traditional clubs, sees Borough currently winless with two draws and a defeat.
A week on Saturday (10th October 2020), United host the current league leaders Needham Market.
