On a boiling hot opening day Buckingham Town stuttered and fell to a 0-3 defeat at our new home. We were always on the back foot after conceding within the first couple of minutes of the new season. In truth we had the greater of the possession in the first half but were unable to really trouble the visiting keeper whilst Raunds wasted a few glorious chances to extend their lead, 0-1 at halftime.
Raunds are a hard working team with more graft than guile but they did look dangerous every time they attacked. Danny Simpson went close to equalising with about 20 minutes to go having been well found by Joel McCormick but his lob went just wide. Almost immediately after it could have been 1-1 it went to 0-2 as the visitors broke clear and headed a second, then the killer blow came soon after, another header from a long cross into the box, 0-3 and game over.
