With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Non League Premier: Northern game of the season. Buxton look forward to welcoming Nantwich Town in front of their home support.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
