UP NEXT:
Buxton are on the road for the second time this week as they travel to Curzon Ashton.
The Bucks
The Bucks go into this game after drawing 1-1 with Leamington on Tuesday
Following the draw manager John McGrath said:
"We could have been two up early on, then gave away a sloppy goal.
I'm pleased that the lads stuck in throughout the second period, in spite of the conditions. The pitch wasn't good, which did not help our style of play, but we have to take our chances, such as they were, better than this.
We dominated the ball and should have been better in front of goal. The one point could prove valuable by the end of the season, though. We're away again on Saturday, off to Curzon Ashton and we'll prepare thoroughly in time for this important game."
