FC United 1 Buxton 2 -

Reed and Barraclough strike to move the Bucks up to 16th with victory at FC United on Saturday. Buxton supporters really do enjoy their trips to Gigg Lane. Three wins and a draw in four visits against FC United of Manchester and Saturday’s 2-1 victory will live long in the memory for both the standard of the football and especially the importance of the result in terms of preserving Premier League soccer at the Silverlands. Martin McIntosh made two enforced changes to the starting eleven with Lugsden, returning from suspension, and Michael Towey in for the banned Maxfield and not fully fit Istead. The game got off to a bad start for the Bucks with FC United grabbing the lead on just 6 minutes with the first meaningful chance. The ball was cleared from inside the United half and Platt controlled the ball on the edge of the box and set up the in-form Wolfenden to net low to Hartley’s left for his eighteenth league goal of the season. The Bucks hit back well and began to get on top of the match
