FULL TIME: The Bucks remain 100% in 2026.

A Linnets effort is blocked, we're over the initial 8 minutes added on.

Bucks substitution before the free-kick was taken...

ON: Charlie Williams. OFF: Dylan Allen-Hadley.

The Linnets are given a free-kick on their left and from the delivery, Doherty rises but heads over the crossbar when he perhaps should have tested Gracey. A let-off for the Bucks.

Bucks yellow card.

Cranston is booked for fouling Clunan as he chased the ball to the left corner flag.

Cranston's inswinger from the free-kick is tipped over by Jones, staggering backwards. The Bucks have a corner on the left.

Lawal makes a dart forward on the right and draws a foul, close to the corner flag.

We will play a minimum of EIGHT additional minutes.

Armson clears the corner from his near post, Meddows then clears up the right and DAH sets off to pressure Clunan, goalkeeper Jones, kicks clear.

The Linnets force a corner on the left.

The gentleman is being attended to and appears shaken, possibly a fall. The game is able to resume, we send out good wishes to him and thank those volunteers and spectators who went to his aid.

We have a stoppage for a medical incident involving a spectator.

Linnets substitution.

ON: Will van Lier. OFF: Tai Fleming.

Piggott clears to touch up the Bucks' right. The Linnets are still pushing for some reward but Davis tries to put the ball off Cranston and instead gives the Bucks a goal-kick.

Lawal races to the corner flag with Dickens, and keeps the defender under pressure, forcing him to concede a throw.

Today's attendance: 1,417.

Thank you to everyone attending the SEAH Stadium today, your support is hugely valued.

Superb save from Gracey.

Josh dives to his right to palm a header back across goal by Goodman, I think, away from his far post - that was definitely going in.

Fleming flings DAH to the floor by the scruff of his neck, a clear foul. The Bucks are awarded a free-kick, wide on the left, the ball into the box is partially cleared, Fletcher meets it and fires his shot too high.

Linnets substitution.

ON: Jack Lambert. OFF: Sam Collins.

Play has yet to restart.

A Linnets injury prevented the game getting under way again.

Bucks substitutions.

ON: Jimmy Armson, Ola Lawal. OFF: Remi Walker, Matty Stenson.

The Linnets try to create some pressure but Leshabela hooks it clear and DAH is on his way to goal again, this time on the right. Walker busts a gut to offer support inside, Dickens is backing off and Dylan's shot at goal is blocked.

Inevitably, the goal has spurred the Linnets and given them fresh energy, but as they push up, the Bucks clear quickly to DAH, and he beats Fleming on the left, cutting in to bend a thunderous shot that Jones beats away.

The Linnets get a goal back.

Simone Troso beats Gracey at his near post, Gracey's right, coming on from the Linnets left, and dinks the ball in to halve the deficit. The away side aren't out of this yet...

Double Linnets substitution.

ON: Adam Marriott, Taylor Anderson. OFF: Reece Hall-Johnson, Jack Goodman.

Cawthorne meets Cranston's long throw and heads it on but play halts for a foul by the home side.

Leshabela's determined surge up the left sees two Linnets track him and he earns the Bucks an attacking throw.

Linnets penalty appeals are waved away as Goodman goes down, trying to reach a cross in the centre, and Davis is booked for his protestations to the referee.

DAH turns away from Doherty on the left touchline and he's away, racing into the boix with just Jones ahead of him, but Dylan's attempt to find the far corner, across Jones, flies wide.

The Linnets are flagged offside.

Almost the Bucks third, a lovely touch from Walker plays Leshabela through on the left of the box, Remi meets Khanya's low cross and can't get a shot away, Stenson spins onto the ball and his shot is blocked a few yards out.

DAH is fouled, a second time in the space of 90 seconds or so. The kick is in the Linnets' half but the Bucks don't load the box, choosing to try and play their way forward instead.

The Linnets start the half positively, plenty of possession but the Bucks hold them outside the penalty area.

We're back in progress with a Linnets substitution...

ON: Sam Collins. OFF: La'Sean Sealey.

HALF TIME:

The Bucks concede a corner, blocking Davis' shot from 20 yards. The home side defend the kick sucessfully, and we reach the interval...

A superb stop to his left by Jones denies Walker from notching a third goal, shooting across the keeper on the spin, 12-15 yards out. The Bucks can sense blood in the water here...

A horrible error in the Linnets defence gifts possession to the advancing Meddows, and he runs in to shoot low under Jones to the keeper's left and inside the right post.

Jamie and his magic foot!

A brave header from Cawthorne wins the ball in the box and denies a Linnets forward, who fouled Oliver in the process.

The Bucks take the lead, and Stenson slides in to the left of goal, a few yards out, to nudge home Allen-Hadley's low cross-shot from the right of the box.

Patience rewarded! Stenno's 21st of the season.

The Linnets force a corner on the left, the away side are enjoying more of the play than home fans are comfortable with and are getting some encouragement to do so. The Bucks are doing OK here but are a bit below the level of recent games.

Stenno goes close!

Dyer crosses from the right and Stenson meets it but doesn't have a firm footing, and the ball comes off him and goes wide. That seemed to be between Matty's feet when he made contact, just a few yards out.

Gracey has to save again, making a low stop as the Bucks give up possession cheaply and the visitors locate Davis, 15 yards out. He moves onto the ball and strikes it well, Gracey is behind it.

Stenson pursues the ball to the left corner flag as he looks, with Fleming and Dickens for company, and they outnumber him and clear. The Linnets come forward but a shot from distance is held with relative comfort by Gracey.

Play restarts, Josh is fine to continue.

We have a stoppage for attention to Josh Gracey.

Referee Daniel Baines has annoyed the home fans with a couple of recent calls. The Bucks show more attacking intent through Dyer on the right, who races to receive Stenson's scooped pass in the box and keeper Jones can't claim at his near post.

Morgan Williams fires the free-kick comfortably too high to trouble Gracey.

The Linnets win an attacking free-kick as Leshabela is penalised. The ball is placed fairly centrally, 25 yards out...

I sense it's going to be an afternoon where patience is needed. The visitors are keeping their shape denying the Bucks much of the ball. Windy conditions won't be helping either team.

Dyer takes the ball and hardly breaks stride from Walker's pass, he finds Dylan Allen-Hadley but the Linnets break the play up and counter quickly, Gracey has to be alert as the Bucks were outnumbered briefly, by Cawthorne recovers to intercept.

Lots of energy and pressure on the ball from the visitors has prevented the Bucks from settling into any real rhythm so far.

The Bucks spring an attack down the left, turning over possession and Meddows advances, joined by Ammar Dyer. The attack breaks down on the edge of the box.

A slightly faster start from the Linnets in the opening minutes, a cross from their right goes too long for anyone in blue and the Bucks have a throw-in on their right.

Close for the visitors! Jayden Davis gets a chance to shoot from 25 yards, Josh Gracey parries but doesn't hold and Jack Goodman, on his Linnets debut, races in but puts the rebound over the bar.

The teams are out at the SEAH Stadium, and Alex Fletcher and Linnets captain Michael Clunan shake hands with the officials and toss the coin. The Linnets will kick off, with the Bucks attacking the goal at the Frank Nagington Stand end in the first half.

COLOURS: The Bucks will be in all white, as the home side, with the Linnets in a kit of all royal blue.

OFFICIALS: Today#s match referee is Daniel Baines, assisted by Daniel Clenton and Jordan Tindall. The fourth official is Jake Burton.
