Banbury United boss Mike Ford was full of praise for his players after they thumped Kettering Town 4-1 in Saturday’s Evo-Stik League South clash.
The Puritans blew the Poppies away with an outstanding display in testing conditions in Saturday’s premier division central clash at the Banbury Plant Hire Community Stadium.
Ford said: “In past games against Kettering, we’ve set the team up with an element of caution but this time I told the players to go out and do what they do best.
They had the licence to go out there and score goals, and I think they appreciated that.
“We managed to get across the line in good fashion and it’s a nice feeling.
“The draw against Stourbridge gave the players belief, it was a game we thought we could get something from and even when they equalised our response was outstanding. That was probably our best performance since I’ve been here.
“Attacking-wise, you go through spells when you can’t score but now we’ve scored seven in three games. We had excellent chances even before we scored from a set-piece.
“To beat a side like Kettering you have to play well. They had plenty of possession in the first half but we had the better chances.
