Midlands 2 East South
Leaders Banbury Bulls hung on for an 11-7 victory at Huntingdon & District, despite having prop Andrew Gilbert sent off for punching.
Huntingdon scored a converted try shortly after this to take the lead, but Bulls showed their resilience to hit back.
Banbury dominated the first half territorially, but had only a penalty from centre Mike Smith to show for their efforts.
The second half was more even, with Smith’s second penalty doubling Bulls’ lead.
Banbury quickly to the double blow of Gilbert’s red card and Huntingdon’s try.
Several quick phases saw the ball moved left for flanker and skipper Sean Bannister to score his 14th try of the season and his 11th of 2010.
