Double boost for Buxton

26 Mar 2019 By James Gordon

Buxton received a double boost at the weekend, as they jumped in to the play-off places and extended the contract of forward Brad Grayson.

Grayson, 26, came through the ranks at Doncaster and has played for Frickley Athletic, Matlock Town and Mickleover Sports.

Currently sidelined with injury, he has committed to the Bucks until the summer of 2020.

He has scored 10 goals in 28 appearances this season.

Meanwhile, Buxton benefited from the demise of North Ferriby United to leapfrog Gainsborough Trinity and into fifth place in the EVO-STIK League Premier Division table.

The Bucks were due to travel to North Ferriby this weekend, while in the reverse fixture they were held to a 2-2 draw.

The expunging of North Ferriby’s record now has Buxton in the play-off places with 58 points from 35 games, ahead of Gainsborough (55 from 34) and Scarborough (51 from 34).

Where next?

NPL pair to play at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium Scarborough Athletic and Marske United will play each other in the North Riding Senior Cup Final at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium.
