Dominant 2nd Half Display Sees Bucks Through

Buxton deservedly earned a play-off semi-final place by overcoming Scarborough at a packed Silverlands on Tuesday evening and accordingly play at South Shields on Saturday. The tie, Buxton's first at home after four away in earlier years, fell into 2 distinct parts and if ever the old soccer adage of goals changing games applied, this was it. For an hour the play was absorbing and evenly-contested but goal-less, yet once 'the Bucks' had scored, the flood-gates opened as chances galore at both ends were created and it was end-to-end, thrill-a-minute fare to the final whistle, with the hosts increasingly dominant and the visitors sufficiently competitive to score the 6th and final goal.
