Buxton's season ended with a most gallant extra-time defeat at Chester on Wednesday evening. The NLN quarter-final play-off produced a superbly competitive, evenly-fought contest that was decided by Burke's goal following a 108th-minute free-kick but up to that point it seemed that either team could snatch victory & even after it, in the very last minute, Diego De Girolamo, added to the substitutes' bench following his return from his loan spell at Macclesfield, had a very good chance to equalise from a central position but he lifted his shot over the bar. Similarly in the last minute pre-extra time, substitute Ben Sault had also missed the target in the same way when he had the opportunity to earn the semi-final tie at Kidderminster.....Full Match Report HERE
So now attention turns immediately to team-building for next season with the obvious joint-aims of signing capable new players & of securing the retention of the men who have contributed so much to a successful first season as a full-time club.
