Match Report
Buxton 3-1 Nantwich Town
Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division – Wednesday 1st May 2013
Buxton FC emerged better off from a frantic last ten minutes with Ash Palmer volleying in and a Mark Reed penalty to make an even game look a deceptively comfortable win.
Tricky Bucks winger Sam Duncum, who caused problems for Dabbers right back Aaron Cole all night, arrived at the back post to tap in the opener from a Reed cross on 19 minutes against the run of play.
It was a simple goal that would have frustrated a Dabbers side that might have already been three goals ahead.
Nantwich battled for an equaliser but the Bucks stood firm for the remainder of the first half, Marc Roberts a rock in their defence.
Tom Bentham was delighted to score his second ever Nantwich goal to make it 1-1 on 83 minutes after a wayward Joe Guest shot had deflected to his feet.
The men in green and white celebrated with their caretaker manager, Darren Moss, thanking him for his efforts in temporary charge.
Buxton were given a dubious corner two minutes later which defender Ash Palmer volleyed in to make it 2-1.
Reed, who was making his 400th appearance for Buxton, scored the host’s third from a penalty on 92 minutes after referee Thomas Bramall saw a Cole tug on the veteran striker.
Nantwich could have put the game beyond their hosts in the first 15 minutes had it not been for point-blank misses from Harry Clayton and Josh Lane who made his 50th club appearance.
Wilson also had opportunities to open the scoring for the Dabbers, testing the Buck’s Deakin with a shot and a header, but it was not to be and Nantwich remain in 16th place in the Evo-Stik Premier with one game remaining in the 2012/13 season.
