• Norwich City 1, Banbury 2

City bowed out of the National EH Trophy at the quarter-final stage after they were defeated by former winners Banbury.

City enjoyed the better of the first half moving the ball about well taking the lead three minutes before the break when Bob Hammond won the ball on the half way line. He broke forward with City players in support and once he beat a defender it became three against two. The ball was slipped right to Jez Elliott who squared the ball for Chris Wardale to sweep in.

After the break Banbury showed more determination and drew level within five minutes scoring from open play. Five minutes later they went ahead from a penalty corner drag flick. Despite City's efforts they were unable to find an equaliser and it is Banbury who will be in the draw for the semi-finals.
