The Bucks
The Bucks go into this game following a 1-0 victory against Boston United on Easter Monday.
A Diego De Girolamo lay off to Connor Kirby who smashed the ball into the net was the difference at The Tarmac Silverlands stadium.
Following the victory manager Craig Elliott said:
“After Friday’s disappointment this was a good comeback, showing lots of character.
There was some good football on display from fine players in difficult weather conditions.
We never thought we’d be challenging for the play-offs, but we’ve got a chance of getting in there.
These lads have been brilliant and the fans are unbelievable. The supporters helped get us over the line in a difficult last 10 minutes against Boston.
“There are just three league games and a cup final left, fingers crossed we will end the season in positive fashion.”
The victory leaves Buxton 3 points outside of the playoff positions with 3 games to go.
