Buxton 5 GNE 0 (High Peak Cup Final)

Something of a disappointment to say the least for more than 50 travelling GNE supporters as the High Peak Cup reached it's finale at Silverlands last night. With GNE starting with 3 at the back, a slick passing Buxton side exploited the spaces and went 2-0 up within the first 10 minutes. GNE then reverted to 4 at the back but the damage was already done and a third goal came half way through the first half. The scoring was completed with two penalties later in the second half.
One of the joys of football is that there is usually another match coming along which gives the possibility of burying the memory of nights like this. Having said that, we still remember Winsford...
And, just to add insult to injury, we were beaten in the half-time Juniors penalty competition by New Mills Juniors.
Roll on Saturday...
