Buxton auction match worn shorts to raise money for Ukraine

10 Mar 2022 By James Gordon

Buxton have decided to put their match worn shorts on auction to raise money for those affected in Ukraine.

The Bucks showed solidarity with Ukraine in their fixture away at Bamber Bridge by wearing yellow shorts with their blue shirts.

Before the match, both teams showed their support for Ukraine with a one minutes applause.

Buxton went on to win the game 4-0 which moved them just one point behind league leaders South Shields.

Following the game, the match worn shorts were signed by each of the players and it was announced that the shorts would be put on auction, with 100% of the proceeds going to the British Red Cross to help those affected in Ukraine.

In a fantastic week for the Bucks, they moved to the top of the Northern Premier League Premier Division with a 3-1 victory at home to Witton Albion on Tuesday.

Warren Clarke opened the scoring 18 minutes in before Diego De Girolamo doubled the Buck's lead 14 minutes later, which takes his tally to 13 goals scored this season.

Witton halved the deficit through Harry Bower in the second half, but a late goal just two minutes from full-time courtesy of Tom Elliott secured all three points for Buxton.

They now sit at the top of the Premier Division on 66 points, two points ahead of South Shields who travel to Basford United on the weekend.
