Daniel Ogwuru scored his first goal for the club as Buxton picked up all three points on the road.

Following the win manager John McGrath said:

"It was a big three points.

We knew it would be tough but delighted we produced the win.

In particular note the way our lads stood up to the big Brackley pressures after the break. We battled and we won.

The boys are getting better every game we play.

There's not only unity throughout the squad, but among our massively important group of supporters."
