Banbury Swept Aside

The Main Stand At Banbury This Evening

Hereford United beat Banbury Town 5-1 in today's Southern League Premier match.

Jon Taylor made one change to his starting eleven with the return of Louis Cutajar in defence, which allowed Obi Onyeike to move forward. Bilal Yafai was dropped to the bench.

Both Sam Akinde and Aboubakar Kone were missing but there was a place on the bench for Jay Knight who was the 42nd player listed by Hereford this season to date.

Josh Hawker gave them a half time lead. 

Fourteen minutes after the break Steve Vetier made it 3-1.

Afterwards it was nearly all one way traffic although it wasn't until added time that Hereford scored again. 

Bilal Yafai made it 4-1, and then with the last action in the game Obi Onyeike sealed the victory.
