Witton travel to Buxton on Tuesday evening in an Evo-Stik Premier Division fixture. The Derbyshire club are having a rather inconsistent season so far, being very good on their travels but struggling in front of their own supporters at present. Going into the game they have suffered four defeats in the five league games so far played at The Tarmac Silverlands Stadium. They left it late at the weekend but progressed through to the Fourth Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Challenge Cup by squeezing past Evo-Stik South opponents Alvechurch, scoring the decisive second goal in the last minute after trailing with five minutes to go. A tie against Vanarama National League Gateshead now awaits them. Witton go into the game on the back of a difficult week and hope to improve on recent results, whilst at the same time complete the double over their hosts but, encounters against Buxton are always very tough and Witton can expect another hard test this time around. Kick off at The Tarmac Silverlands Stadium is 7.45pm.
