Bromsgrove Sporting 0
Banbury United 2 (Gordon 29', Ngaah Bosio 32')

A lethargic Bromsgrove Sporting lost their first home league game since March 2018, as they were beaten 2-0 by Banbury United.

Goals from Jannai Gordon and Roger Ngaah Bosio midway through the first half gave ensured the visitors would head back to Oxfordshire with three points.

The first meaningful chances of the half fell to Sporting, as Leon Broadhurst had a shot from just outside the area that clattered the post, before Kieren Westwood hit the rebound wide.

The opener for Banbury came 29 minutes in, as sloppiness at the back from Sporting allowed Gordon to comfortably slot home past Tony Breeden from a one on one situation.

Three minutes later it was two, as Ngaah Bosio pounced on some equally poor defending from the home side to emphatically drive the ball into the net.

Gordon could have doubled his tally with five minutes of the half remaining, but he put his effort wide.

The second half saw Bromsgrove have the majority of the chances, but little clinicalness in front of goal.

Richard Gregory hit a free header from a lovely Westwood cross 10 minutes into the half, before Shaquille McDonald struck wide from an acute angle a minute later.

Further chances for the home side saw substitute Kyle Perry and Joe Hull have efforts comfortably saved by Banbury keeper Jack Harding, whilst McDonald hit the side netting with 15 minutes left.

Gregory had a curled strike in injury time easily held by Harding, with Banbury substitute John Mills shooting wide with one of the last kicks of the game.
