Buxton secured their 7th win in eight matches with one draw in another dominating display against Golden Stars who couldn’t get on the score sheet. Joshua Liverpool opened the winners’ account in the 25th minute as Golden Stars stood solid against the constant raids from the Buxton United players.
It was not until the second half that Buxton were able to double their advantage and this was done by the competition’s leading goalscorer Kobe Durant, who blasted his 16th goal of the league. Thereafter it was the Profitt show, as he netted in the 68th, 72nd and 75th minutes to maintain his side’s unbeaten run as they move to 22 points from their 8 matches.

In Sunday’s lone match, Plaisance Panthers ran away 2-0 leaders over Buxton Stars with Emanuel Hamer scoring both goals in the 3rd and 13th minutes. But while Plaisance thought that that was probably enough to see them home, Buxton Stars had other ideas.
Buxton first pulled one back before the halftime whistle when Shemar Scott rocked the net in the 21st minute to halve the deficit. The equaliser came off the boot of Kenaz De Cambra in the 73rd minute as both teams walked away with one point.
