A closely fought 90 minutes saw Town edge home by the smallest of margins this afternoon against a very determined Buxworth outfit in the first of their local derbies. Falling well short of the previous weeks performance the home side can be thankful not to have dropped points with the Canalmen almost equalising on 3 or 4 occasions in the final quarter. Goals for Timothy, Lugsden and the best of the lot from Blackburn who finished an unbelievable cross from the outside of Woods right foot down the left with a crisp header.
