Sullivan has been disappointed with Banbury's start to the campaign

Banbury boss Kieran Sullivan said he was relieved after claiming a derby win over neighbours Brackley.

The Puritans, who have had a poor run in the Southern League Premier, claimed a victory against in-form opposition.

"For everybody concerned we were looking to get a positive result and we have done it in style, " said a delighted Sullivan.

"If you look at Brackley's results they were unbeaten in six in the league and we hadn't won for a couple of months."

Despite the win, Banbury remain third from bottom of the table and face another derby at Oxford City on Saturday 3 January.
