Buxton came away from one of the world's famous centres of learning with a 7-0 victory over Oxford City, Saturday March 8. It was a top-of-the-class performance, not only by the goal scorers, but all those who pulled on the Buxton shirt to consolidate their place in the Vanarama National League North table.
To their credit, the hosts kept battling away, in spite of being three goals down before half-time and reduced to 10 men through a sending off early in the second half. Full Match Report HERE
Team manager John McGrath hailed the win as superb: 'Our levels of energy were brilliant. I might be biased, but i think we are the best footballing team in this division."
Goal scorers as the game progressed were Luke Brennan 38 minutes (penalty) and 48, Connor Kirby 44, Johnny Johnstone first-half stoppage time and 71, Keziah Martin 63 and Faisu Sangare 73.
John McGrath again: "A result like this has been coming. Everyone was really positive and it was a great three points. The boys know that the season's run-in is massive for us. Brilliant that the goals came from all over the pitch and skipper Connor Kirby's goal was particularly satisfying.
"It was an all around performance from the squad. On Tuesday we go again to host Spennymoor, and we're now top scorers in the league."
Tuesday's home game with Spennymoor Town kicks off at 7.45pm. In the reverse fixture, November, the sides played out a 1-1 draw
