It took just four minutes for the Bucks to take the lead at the Seah Stadium - as Ollie Cawthorne headed home.

The Silkmen almost hit back immediately with Luke Matheson's cross just evading Isaac Buckley-Ricketts in the box.

They then had appeal for a penalty waved away for a tug on Luke Duffy by Jamie Meadows.

Midway through the half it was the Bucks who struck again as Adan George latched onto a through ball before rifling home past the visiting goalkeeper.

Both sides had chances but the score remained 2-0 until three minutes into added time in the second half.

Paul Dawson was judged to have brought down George as he went through on goal - with George stepping up to slot home from 12 yards.
