The Bucks
The Bucks go into this game following a 3-1 victory to Peterborough Sports on Tuesday.
Following the win manager Craig Elliott said:
“Really strong performance I sort of challenge the lads for back to back wins and we knew it would be tough especially tonight. I like Peterborough Sports I like what they are about they are a strong physical team and apart from maybe the opening 10-15 minutes I thought we dominated the large parts of the game and particularly the second half and in the end I’m probably disappointed we didn’t win by more goals to be honest”
“At the minute I’m just enjoying we have been on a really good run for a number of weeks and playing good football as well and the dressing room and the atmosphere has been great”
