 Buxton 0-4 Chesterfield

Chesterfield won there second pre-season game 24 hrs after beating Matlock 3-0 in the Autoworld Cup. The match started with Chesterfield attacking Buxton straight from the off and they put the Buxton back four and the experienced Buxton keeper Phil Barnes who has just signed from Harrogate Town under pressure. The former Blackpool shot stopper who made 141 appearances for the club in 7 years was beaten when Daniel Jones had the ball played on the wide left to him and he took a low shot from 25 yards which went under the keepers body.

Chesterfield went looking for a second and they got it 12 minutes later when Gboly Ariyibi took the ball off Buxton's Greg Young and laid on Jay O'Shea to bury it home to make it two. Buxton finished the first half by searching for a goal before half time and they had a few chances from set-pieces but the chances came to nothing as they didn't test trialist keeper Alex Cairns or the Chesterfield back four.

The second half Chesterfield came out a different squad with only Alex Cairns remaining in goal from the first. Buxton got the second half underway but it was only 2 mins before Chesterfield had the ball in the back of the Buxton net again when Jake Orrell tapped the ball in from Armand Gnanduillet's assist to make it three. Chesterfield nearly got another soon after when Orrell collected the ball on the edge of the area and turned on a sixpence only to see his shot fired wide of the post. Chesterfield kept maintaining pressure on Buxton and they went close from a corner when Mani Dieseruvwe's header was cleared off the line. Mani got his goal on the hour mark when he went on a lone run and took a hard, low shot from 20 yards to make it four. Ollie Banks collected the ball in midfield and he also went on a lone run only to see his shot sail miles wide of the goal.

Buxton didn't give in and kept searching for there goal and really troubled the Chesterfield defence on the 76th minute when a Buxton player crossed the ball into the box at the far post but unfortunately there was no one there on the end of it. With fives minutes remaining Chesterfield retained possession and built up a really good chance only for Simons overhead kick to sail over the ball.
