Buxton fell to a 3-2 defeat to Chorley with both teams going down to ten men just before half time.


The Magpies started on the front foot with Justin Johnson creating 2 early chances. The first coming into the hands of Max Dearnley and the second being headed on before being put wide with the linesman’s flag going up for offside.


Eoin McKeown won the ball back with a high press before giving The Bucks a corner the first of 5 corners in the game for The Bucks.


Buxton took the lead in the 18th minute after a ball came across from McKeown and Diego De Girolamo hit a great strike to find the corner and put The Bucks ahead early on.


A ball over the top found William Bapaga and he ran through at goal and got a shot off that Matt Urwin got down well to collect.


And Chorley equalised from a corner. Originally hitting the bar it gets headed back across the face of the goal and Mike Calveley was there to smash it in to make it 1-1.


It was an eventful end to the second half with both sides going down to 10 men.  Bapaga was involved in an off the ball incident which led to The Bucks winger being sent off. But for Chorley the referee gave a second yellow card to Jack Sampson for the same incident when it was in fact Harvey Smith who was involved.


Chorley made a change at half time bringing on Carlton Ubaezounu for Marco Rus. He made an immediate impact after a through ball came to him and he ran through at goal but put his shot wide.


Harvey Smith then had a free header from a corner that went just over the bar.


The Bucks put together a fast counter attack move with Jak McCourt finding De Girolamo who then found Kirby at the back post with a shot that the Chorley keeper dealt with comfortably.


Chorley went ahead in the 63rd minute with substitute Ubaezuonu this time making no mistake and smashing it into the back of the net from close range.


With the game very open in play it wasn’t long before Buxton found an equaliser Jake Wright who had came off the bench leaped into the air and headed it in to make it 2-2.


They weren’t ahead for long however after Chorley regained the lead from another set piece. Mark Ellis unmarked put a powerful header past Dearnley to make it 3-2.


Jack Moore had the last effort at goal hitting a long range strike that Dearnley was forced to tip onto the bar.


The Bucks are next in action on Saturday with a visit to Spennymoor.
