The Bucks
The Bucks go into this game after a late 1-0 win over Spennymoor Town on Tuesday.
The game looked to be heading to a goalless draw before Martin’s cross was turned in by Shrimpton into his own net in the 92nd minute.
Following the win manager John McGrath said:
"Delighted. This was aback-up performance from Saturday and we were excellent.
Spennymoor are well organised and defended well, with obvious maturity. But our boys kept going to the end. They know the style we want and they delivered. Praise for our young defence as well.
This kind of form bodes well for the remainder of the season. It's a great football club to be at and support."
