The Puritans take on The Bards, Saturday 29th March 2025 (KO 15:00).

Banbury United are back at the Spencer Stadium, powered by egg, as The Puritans look to make it three on the bounce against Stratford Town.

Following the 2-1 win against Bromsgrove, Simon Hollyhead spoke to Dave England: “Our positional play keeps getting stronger and stronger.

The boys have trained very well this week, everyone in the squad is available and fit.

Anyone who hasn’t shown the right behaviour, is no longer part of the squad.”

The Bards have won two of their last five games leaving them 6th in the table.

When the sides met earlier in the season it ended a 1-1 draw.

Tickets are available here.
