FULL TIME:

Defeat at home - onto the next game!

The Bucks get a free-kick and Cranston floats the ball into the box, it'sheaded clear.

We've not seen the board for added time nor heard how much, I'm afraid, but there's not going to be enough for the Bucks to earn any reward today, you feel...

We've another stoppage for an injury, apologies for a break in updates, our server kicked us out... twice.

Marine booking.

Jack Hazlehurst shown a yellow for kicking the ball away after a foul on Lwal.

Marine appeal for a foul for a push by Piggott on Matty McDonald after Newell's touch played him through.

Bucks booking.

Ammar Dyer is yellow-carded for a push on Sinclair-Smith.

Cranston's foul by the right corner flag on substitute Jack Hazlehurst concedes a free-kick. Marine make an early attempt at running the clock down, taking the ball to the corner flag.

Bucks substitution.

ON: Rhys Hilton. OFF: Khanya Leshabela.

Leshabela tries to carry the ball forward from halfway, a couple of Marine players tap his ankles and his through ball is too strong, he turns and asks the referee why there was no foul.

Dyer appears to lose possession on the edge of the box, gets it back and sends a rising shot much too high to trouble McIntyre. We then have a stoppage as Leigh Whelan needs attention.

Dyer is unhappy, he retrieved a miscontrol by Piggott and was then caught late by Sinclair-Smith behind the play.

We've a stoppage as Adan George needs treatment following contact.

George turns, 10 yards from the edge of the box, and he's held back but play continues and he gets free and into the penalty area, before his low shot ends in McIntyre's gloves.

Bucks substitution.

ON: Ola Lawal. OFF: Dylan Allen-Hadley.

The corner again ends with McIntyre holding the ball.

Walker goes low and around the wall to his right, McIntyre gets down well to parry and the Bucks earn a corner.

Marine booking.

Dyer is poleaxed by a challenge a couple of yards short of the right edge of the box by Declan Drysdale, who gets a yellow card.

Marine substitution.

ON: Matty McDonald. OFF: Offrande Zanzala.

George crosses from the right but there's no one close to the destination of the ball. DAH does manage to get the ball but not in a position where he can make anything of it.

Meddows does well, with a Marine player having a big hold of his shirt he still turns past him into the box but his low cross is dealt with.

DAH chases the ball and McIntyre comeout to shepherd it out of play, Dylan bumps McIntyre a bit, and the keeper appeals to the officials for something. He doesn't get it.

The corner ends with the ball in McIntyre's hands.

Cranston wins a corner on the left. Before the Bucks can take it, McIntyre needs his laces ties by a colleague...

Cranston, on the overlap, touches the ball past Thomas and into the box but a Marine player comes over to thump it into touch.

Marine booking.

Joe Ashton is booked for timewasting.

McIntyre makes a good catch from the corner but then stays down, and it's unclear why. Referee Thomas Wilson comes over for a look, and Alex Fletcher is on hand to give an opinion.

Bucks free-kick.

George is fouled a yard short of the edge of the box, to the left of the 'D'. Cranston leaves it to Walker, he cracks an effort around the wall to McIntyre's left and the keeper makes a terrific save to concede a corner.

Marine stretch their lead.

It's poor at the back from the Bucks but credit to Fin Sinclair-Smith for a terrific shot from the edge of the box, beating Gracey inside his right post.

The Bucks get the ball into the penalty area but can't find the shot that will get them level. Walker stabs an effort goalwards, it's blocked on the line and Marine clear.

Abbey once again tries to halt Cranston by grabbing his arm, and a few seconds later sends a pass straight into touch. Not his finest minute or so for the former buck.

The Bucks defend the corner successfully.

Adam Thomas picks up possession after some Bucks laxity following a blocked Abbey shot. The visitors eventually work a shooting chance for Zanzala, Gracey has to concede a corner to his right, the Marine left.

The Bucks earn a free-kick on the right, 25 yards from goal but wide. Cranston will deliver with his left, and does so, Marine head clear.

Jed Abbey holds onto Cranston's arm to stop him advancing up the left and concedes a free-kick.

We're back in progress...

Neither manager has made any substitutions at the interval.

HALF TIME:

Work to do in the second half for the Bucks.

Marine clear the corner and break. With hardly any support, Sinclair-Smith aims a cross from the left for Zanzala, Piggott heads it over the bar for a corner, which comes to nothing.

Piggott is invited into space and drills a shot to McIntyre's right, the keeper getting down to push it away for a corner.

We'll play a minimum of TWO additional minutes.

Some loose Bucks possession gives Sinclair-Smith a chance to move forward, but his attempted right-footer strikes a Bucks defender and spins away for Gracey to give chase and grab the ball to prevent a corner.

Walker's pass finds Dyer on the right of the box and his low cross evades George. Meddows tries to volley the ball back in towards danger and miscues, McIntyre claims.

Marine win a corner and when the ball is delivered it causes problems. Gracey saves as Sinclair-Smith's deflected effort from the edge of the box threatens, and then the Bucks have to head an effort off the line in the ensuing chaos.

Zanzala tries to muscle his way past Cawthorne, with no success.

A ball into the box from the right sees McIntyre fail to claim it and he feels he was fouled as Cranston jumped with him, rather than not being able to make a clean catch, which is how it looked. The Bucks are starting to wind it up again...

Adam Anson is grateful to Wardle for digging him out of a hole, the ball bouncing over Anson, misjudging it, and allowing George to move towards the box before Wardle bundles him out of possession.

Good hold-up play from George with Wardle at his back retains Bucks possession, they need to reset and go again here, and in fairness, you'd hope recent performances mean they see that as a setback and nothing more.

The visitors lead.

A sucker punch if ever there was one. Offrande Zanzala travels with the ball past a couple of challenges and his lay off to Fin Sinclair-Smith is turned past a wrong-footed Gracey from the left of the box.

The Bucks are dictating matters but don't have the goal to go with their dominance. George is found on the right and crosses intoi the middle. McIntyre plunges out to hold.

Another chance, and Meddows fires an effort over with the goal at his mercy from 15 yards.

DAH has right-back Adam Thomas doubting, and he goes past him again on the left to set up more panicky moments in the Marine defence. The visitors are rocking here.

Marine clears the corner but the ball is returned to the box from the left and it's just too high for Oli Cawthorne. Jordan Piggott is closing in but he can't get in front of a defender and the chance evaporates.

The knocking gets louder. Fletcher wins the ball in midfield, finds Adan George and he makes room for a shot that's deflected wide to McIntyre's right, another corner.

The Bucks are starting to knock on the door with some regularity and DAH's pace has Marine wary and standing off. he sends a great ball across the edge of the 18-yard box to Meddows, but Jamie gets under his shot and clears the bar. That was a real chance.

The Bucks regain possession from the clearance, move the ball right and Fletcher carries it towards the edge of the box before offloading to Meddows on the right. He steps around Ashton and sends a cross to the far post, there's no-one there.

Marine get the corner clear but the Bucks regain possession, DAH makes a similar dart forward and wins another corner. The delivery is low to the near post and cleared.

Dylan Allen-Hadley makes a burst into the box on the left and earns a corner.

Sinclair-Smith wins a free-kick wide on the left, not far from the corner flag, waiting for Dyer's contact and going down. This situation poses a threat... well, it did, but the ball to the back post is held above his head by Josh Gracey.

A Bucks cross into the box goes high into the air, remains in play and a shot is blocked. The Bucks regain possession, shift the ball right and Meddows comes inside on his left and his attempt to bend a shot to Jack McIntyre's right is on target but held.

Dyer's run down the right earns the Bucks a throw and from it, Remi Walker's delicate lift of the ball for Meddows results in Jamie leaning into Joe Ashton's back and fouling him.

Whelan is back on his feet, leaves the pitch closest to the main stand side with the physio but is soon invited to rejoin the game. Marine take the resulting free-kick into the Bucks' 18-yard box, that's dealt with by the home side.

A competitive start, both teams eager in the tackle and Ammar Dyer is down hurt, along with a Marine player, after a firm collision. It's Leigh Whelan who is down for the visitors.
