NOTHING COMES EASILY

Cian Coleman (Left) gives the Bucks the lead against Kidderminster

Buxton's team manager John McGrath said after his side's 1-1 home draw against second-top Kidderminster Harriers in the Vanarama National League North, Saturday April 5, that nothing is easy at this level of football. It's a fight for every point. Full Match Report HERE

He said: "It was a pulsating game and to concede an equaliser from their Zak Brown in injury time was tough to take.

"This was a cracking Saturday afternoon of sport and we thought Cian Coleman's late and magnificent goal in the top corner had given us a full house. But they hit back at us. Then, in the dying seconds, our goalie Paul Cooper made a fabulous save so that we could take a fully-deserved point. I'm super proud of a squad that gave everything. This is such a progressive young group.

"We missed some opportunities but we didn't shy away. Always, we want to win. That's what we do. It's a one-club effort.

"There was a great atmosphere for all, on and off the pitch, taking in the sunshine. The ground was bouncing from well before kick-off. Kidderminster have a big following but our fans matched them in every way. A great noise from an overall attendance of 1,103, showing their non-stop passion for success.

"Scarborough, strong in mid-table, are next on the league list, one of four games to go. We'll be ready."

The Scarborough Athletic match, next Saturday April 12, kicks off at the Asburn Road ground at 3pm. Connor Kirby scored both goals in a 2-0 home win against Boro in November.
