[Steve T]

All competitions (L+C). Only Liverpool's ended with a league defeat:
20 (14+6) Buxton
19 (11+8) Banbury
18 (10+8) Hayes & Yeading
16 (10+6) Liverpool

League only (*ended):
16 Buxton

14 Liversedge
13 Banbury
12 Frome
12 Folkestone Invicta*
11 Hayes & Yeading
11 Canvey Island
10 Liverpool*

Banbury's best was in 1973, W10 D4.

Also, Banbury have set another club record by winning their first five away league matches. Previous best was four in 54-55 and 17-18.

All-time records (excluding the Banbury League in the early Spencer days and the wartime OSL competition):
7 – 47-48
6 – 99-00
5 – 15-16

Just Coalville, St. Ives and Hednesford to beat to set yet another record...

I believe the 1973 run ended with a 6 0 defeat. Fingers crossed for Tuesday

Another one gone today with H&Y surprisingly losing at Kings Langley. Banbury are the last team unbeaten at level 7 and above.

16 Banbury United
16 Buxton*
15 AFC Bournemouth*
14 Liversedge
13 Canvey Island
13 Hayes & Yeading Utd*

Canvey Island also lost on Saturday so Liversedge are the last team in the top 8 levels still unbeaten in the league (in which they haven't played since Nov 6th because of cup commitments and the weather).

Liversedge ended at 18 (W16).
