A dominant second-half display by Buxton saw them beat hosts Marine 4-1, Saturday January 25. The thoroughly deserved scoreline keeps the Bucks within reach of the Vanarama National League North play-off places. Marine, however, are anchored to the bottom.
It was strong-starting Marine who took the lead just after half an hour, through Enock Lusiama, but Tommy Elliott squared it up five minutes later, then came a second-half goals rush, courtesy of Luke Brennan after 63 minutes and two from debut-making Johnny Johnston, 69 and 73 minutes.
Johnny Johnston has joined from Redditch United in the Southern Premier League Central. where he scored 11 goals this season. The pacey 21-year-old began his career at EFL side Blackpool. He's made a terrific start in his number 26 Bucks shirt. Match Report HERE
Team manager John McGrath welcomed his new signing. He said: "It was a great debut. Johnny was sharp and took his goals really well. He led the line with sheer hard work, and he fits the bill of what we're doing as a project.
"I thought we were excellent today. It was pretty even early on but in the second half we were quick going forward and very effective, playing through the thirds.
"Their goal was a disappointment, but we certainly made up for it. We scored some fantastic goals and the energy levels were top notch. What's more, our travelling fans were brilliant again. They're our twelfth man wherever we play."
Next up is a visit to Darlington on Tuesday. The match at Blackwell Meadows kicks off at 7.45pm.
