Fun In The Sun As Play-Offs Made

There was a minute's applause before the match in memory of Tony Parkes.

On what by 2-30 pm had become a perfect Saturday afternoon, Buxton achieved not only a promotion play-off place but also a home quarter-final tie on Tuesday evening versus Scarborough Athletic (7-45 pm). Beforehand 'the Bucks' had known that a win versus the already-relegated Leamington would guarantee a play-off place but the bonus of draws for Scarborough and Chester lifted them to a finishing position of 5th in NLN, with a coveted home tie to follow.

Unchanged yet again, the hosts dominated throughout versus opponents who were lacking regular choices in the centre-back department. Grit, determination and some good fortune kept the home score down to 4 and the only setback to Buxton's dominance came in first-half added time when ex-Silverlands loanee midfielder, Max Brogan, out of the blue, halved the hosts' 2-goal lead with a 25-yards power-drive into Joe Young's top left corner.....Full Report HERE
