Buxton FC set for play-off showdown with South Shields after home draw with Warrington Town
The match, played in front of 943 people at the Tarmac Silverlands Stadium, saw the Bucks claim their top five place, aided by Gainsborough Trinity losing at home to South Shields.
The Bucks began well and went in front on nine minutes when Jude Oyibo, having seen an earlier effort saved, this time chested the ball down and volleyed home the opener.

However, the Bucks got themselves back in front before half-time when a ball from Ashley Young found Liam Hardy and his shot slipped through the hands of keeper McMillan and into the net.
Oyibo should have made it 3-1 in the second-half when he struck the crossbar when only a few yards out and with McMillan on the floor.
And it proved costly as Warrington levelled on 79 minutes when Mark Roberts headed home from a corner.
That would be the end of the scoring, the point enough for Buxton to seal their passage into the play-offs.
