The Bucks' fate has been on the cards for weeks - but defeat at the New Bucks Head leaves them 15 points behind Farsley Celtic in 20th place - with five games left to play.

That means Kevin Wilkin's side would have to win all of their remaining fixtures and rely on other results while overturning a 13 goal swing.

And their fate could be sealed on Tuesday evening if Farsley avoid defeat against Brackley Town.

The Bucks fell behind on 24 minutes - as Dan Jarvis let fly from distance and the ball crashed in off the underside of Joe Young's crossbar.

Early in the second half Young produced a top save to deny Michael Gash - with substitute John McGammon going close to a second on two occasions.

Montel Gibson had a shot saved by the visiting keeper - but if anyone was going to find a goal it was Sports as McGammon was denied by Young late on.
