That's 6 points on the road in 4 days as Scarborough's fantastic first season in National League North continues.

Luca Colville scored the only goal of the game on 37 minutes, picking up the ball just outside the penalty area and running wide to find an opportunity to shoot. He placed the ball beautifully past the home keeper.

The attendance was just over 600 and included around 100 travelling fans who'd battled heavy rain to make the 245 mile round trip from Scarborough.

They were rewarded with an entertaining game of football but Boro were better in posession (with Keiran Glynn outstanding) and deserved the victory.

Joe Cracknell made some vital saves including one that was world-class from a header at pace from 3 yards out from Bucks striker Gilchrist.

Boro were without injured Will Thornton and Michael Coulson who's still recovering from Concussion.

The players who came in did a superb job including Captain for the night Ryan Watson.

The Seadogs got hammered at the Tarmac Silverlands Stadium in the Northern Premier League last season and Buxton have been somewhat of a bogey side for Boro in recent years.

The win takes Scarborough up to third in the table, just 2 points behind the league leaders.
