BUCKLAND REACH DEVON BOWL FINAL

Newton Abbot based Buckland Athletic reached the final of the St Lukes Devon Bowl for the first time in their history after a penalty shoot-out win over Plymouth Argyle.

Bucks took the lead in the 35th minute through Danny Gaze on 35 minutes before Simon Walton levelled matters for the Pilgrims on the hour mark.

Gaze added a second for Buckland in injury time, which was quickly cancelled out by a late equaliser from Matt Rickard which sent the tie to a penalty shoot out that Bucks won 5-4.
