In the eight goal thriller, Kevin Wilkin's side fell behind 18 minutes in as Huw Dawson turned the ball home from close range.

But after a quiet first half an hour from the Bucks, they sprung into action with a four goal blitz in the space of eight minutes.

Matty Stenson levelled the scores as he fired in from the post - before a ball over the top moments later found the forward who fired home past goalkeeper Jameson Horlick.

The goals just kept on flowing as minutes later Orrin Pendley headed home from a corner, before another set piece yielded a fourth as Jimmy Armson headed the Bucks further ahead.

The one way traffic finish to the first period continued in the second as Max Brogan's netted his first goal for the club to make it 5-1.

Before the hour mark they had netted yet again as Armson completed a brace and put the Bucks well and truly out of sight.

The visitors did pull one back later in the half but the damage was done as Wilkin's Bucks returned to the top of the table.
