Buxton are on the road as they travel to Warwickshire to face Leamington.


The Bucks


The Bucks go into this game after losing 1-0 late on against Radcliffe at the weekend.


Following the loss manager John McGrath said:


"It was a bitter one to take but we played really well at times. The sending off was a difficulty yet our 10 more than matched their 11.


We've been on a great run and let's take all the positives from that, ready for Tuesday. The lads have matured from being simply a young group, which puts us in a good position for the rest of the season.”


This week both Jack Stobbs and Liam Ravenhill have moved to Matlock the latter on a permanent deal and Stobbs on loan until the end of the season.


Opposition


The club were promoted last season from the Southern Premier Division Central after beating Telford in the playoff final.


The club are nicknamed The Brakes.


They play their games at the Your Co Op community stadium.


Their manager is Paul Holleran who is one of the longest serving managers in non league football he has taken charge of over 700 games for the Warwickshire club.


In 1933 the club were established as the works team of Lockheed Borg and Beck.


In their last game they won 3-0 against Farsley with Ewan Williams getting two goal and Henry Landers sealing all three points.


They currently sit 14th in the league on 41 points from 30 games.


The Brakes have won three out of their last five home games.


One to watch


Jack Edwards is into his eleventh season at the club and mainly plays as a midfielder.


He is the clubs modern day appearance holder having played over 400 times.


Last Time Out


In the first game of the season Buxton left it late after Ben Sault’s goal in injury time meant they won 2-1 At the TSS with Tommy Elliott scoring the other goal for The Bucks and Callum Stewart scoring for the visitors.


Last time in Warwickshire it was a narrow 1-0 win for Buxton with Diego De Girolamo scoring the only goal in February 2023.
