The Bucks
The Bucks last game was against Alfreton where they won 3-2 on Boxing Day with all five goals coming in the first half.
Kieran Burton, Tommy Elliott and Ben Sault were the goalscorers for The Bucks.
Following the win manager John McGrath said:
"I was delighted with how the lads fought back from going a goal down and they continued to follow the game plan as we deservedly took the points.
These were probably my favourite three points of the season.
We created numerous chances throughout the game, including during the goalless second half.
Overall, it was a professional performance and now we must prepare for Chorley. They will provide a different kind of challenge, but we'll be ready."
Cian Coleman has returned to Leeds following his loan spell with the club.
