In the village that is home to the famous Quorn hunt, Kevin Wilkin’s Bucks were hunted down and cornered to end their FA Trophy hopes.
Quorn served up an upset but deserved their victory, looking the much hungrier of the two sides and equalling their best-ever progress in the competition, one that thrilled their manager, former Buck Richard Lavery, writes Rich Worton.
The manager also started Tre Mitford and Twariq Yusuf, making a total of three changes, with Yusuf as a left wing-back in a defensive unit of five, an unfamiliar role for a more attack-minded player. The Bucks appeared tentative, rarely putting pressure on the ball and allowing Quorn time to play. Marzano seemed keen to test Yusuf, perhaps sensing that the Bucks No.3 wasn’t wholly comfortable in his unfamiliar left-wing-back.
Fellow midfielder Cain Noble took the kick and in truth executed it poorly, allowing Brandon Hall to dive to his left and save. The half ended with an incident that indicated how much Quorn had managed to get under the Bucks’ collective skin. As midfielder James McQuilkin tried to retrieve the ball from the Quorn dugout, manager Lavery appeared to impede him and grab his shirt, producing an angry response and the intervention of Orrin Pendley as the peacemaker. Lavery didn’t escape unpunished, collecting a yellow card.
In the 61st minute, Gibson eluded the home defence to thump a header from a free-kick straight at Woods, but he’d found the space by going too early, and was ruled offside.
