Having lost four successive league games going into this one, the Bucks have now moved six points above the National League North drop zone with Ben Bailey and John Marsden netting at Bower Fold.

"It was a big night for us. It's been a game we have had to have our eyes on because of our results," said Smith.

"We made a big thing of it, it was so important to concentrate on getting a win. We put all our eggs in the basket - we had to win.

"I said 'don't leave anything out there'. It gives us a little bit of breathing space so hopefully we can build on that."
