Updates by Adam Cheshire - let us have your thoughts at kellygilchrist@halifaxafc.co.uk

4.56pm - Could've been more comfortable as Town had their chances, but three points is the most important thing. Reaction on Official Website later

4.54pm - Phew! Glad that's over! Fantastic result for the Shaymen as they open their Evo-Stik Premier League campaign with a hard fought victory over Buxton.

4.54pm - FULL TIME FC HALIFAX 2 Buxton 1

4.53pm - Ref blows for bizarre free kick after Town try to keep possession

4.52pm - Baker trickery on edge of area results in corner. A bit of keep ball now for Town

4.50pm - Holland nearly makes amends but can't get touch to beat Hartley after being released through on goal

4.49pm - Five minutes of injury time

4.47pm - Striker's placed penalty is saved by Hartley to his left

4.47pm - HOLLAND MISSES PENALTY

4.46pm - It's all happening at the Shay! Vardy is taken out in the area. Ref has no hesitation in pointing to the spot

4.46pm - PENALTY TO TOWN

4.44pm - Town sub - Plummer replaces Riley, Buxton sub, Liversedge comes on for Lugsden

4.43pm - That doesn't look good. Riley has to be subsituted after Anderson collides with him. Anderson is rightly shown a straight red card. Riley is taken staright down the tunnel assisted by Phil Senior and the pyhsio. Hope he's alright

4.42pm - RED CARD - GREGG ANDERSON - 83 mins

4.40pm - Vardy is through, has Winter in support but great defending by Buxton. We need the third to settle the nerves. Buxton look dangerous

4.38pm - Offside flag up as Vardy and Taylor look to pounce for a third

4.37pm - Baker has shooting chance in area but is crowded out

4.36pm - Metcalfe has ball after corner cleared to him but right foot volley flashes wide

4.35pm - Buxton sub - Hunter replaced by Morris - 78 mins

4.35pm - Town have corner after mass scramble. Appeals for a penalty in there as well!

4.34pm - Hard work nearly all undone. Free header for Buxton but Hardy somehow manages to header ball over bar on the line. Fantastic defending. That's why you have someone on the line!

4.33pm - That's got class written all over it. Hardy delightful through ball to Vardy, who keeps his cool to slot past Hartley into far corner. Super, super goal

4.33pm - GOAL FC HALIFAX 2 Buxton 1 - Vardy 75 mins

4.31pm - Riley heads free kick wide

4.30pm - Town have another free kick after Wilcox clims all over Holland. Yellow card for Buxton man

4.29pm - Cynical foul on Baker inside own half. Sense frustration within home crowd now

4.26pm - Town sub - Taylor replaces Gray, 69 minutes

4.26pm - Uncertainty again but ball is eventually cleared

4.25pm - Buxton break from Town corner. It's 2 on 2 but Hogan and Hardy defend well. Corner conceded

4.24pm - Town force corner. Metcalfe to take on far side

4.23pm - Baker penalised for typical Baker challenge on halfway line. Just letting him know he was there, that's all!

4.21pm - Winter gets forward finds Vardy who cuts inside but left-footed shot no trouble for Hartley

4.20pm - Buxton sub - Asky replaced by Stevens - 63 mins

4.20pm - Town sub - Metcalfe replaces Garner - 63 mins

4.19pm - Buxton can't create anything from corner

4.18pm - Town should be behind. Ball from left is met by Lugsden bu Hogan somehow deflects goalbound effort wide

4.17pm - And you join us just as Buxton equalise! Towey slots the ball home after hesitant defending

4.16pm - GOAL FC Halifax 1 Buxton 1

4.15pm - It seems we're up and running! Sincere apologies for lack of coverage but the entire network was down

4.11pm - Handbags. Vardy tries to find Gray but ball is cut-out. Gray and defender have heated moment but referee steps in

4.07pm - Baker free kick from right but linesman's flag is up for offside

4.04pm - And we're back under way for the second half

3.48pm - Would've been nice to get a deserved second on stroke of half time but Buxton survive

3.47pm - Half time FC Halifax 1 Buxton 0

3.45pm - Nine white shirts on the line as ball is touched to Holland but weak effort is cleared. Ball lands on striker's head but looping effort strikes bar

3.44pm - This really is a chance for the Shaymen. Good move down the right sees Baker's cross tapped back to keeper by defender. But Hartley picks it up and referee blows for a pass-back!

3.43pm - Left-back Ridley throws himself to the floor but referee sees through it!

3.42pm - Boos ring around the Shay after Vardy is alleged to have unfairly collided with Hartley. Again the goalkeeper needs treatment, which the Town fans do not like

3.41pm - Resulting corner again goes to the far post but Holland's ambitious volley lands in the empty North Stand

3.40pm - Great chance to maybe put the game to bed before half time. Gray is suddenly sprung clean through on goal in acres of space. Just as he is about to pull the trigger to make it 2-0 Wilcox produces a miraculous tackle to intervene

3.37pm - Another chance after sloppy Town defending. Reed is again in, Hedge clears only to Asky who gets his shot horribly wrong. It was an open net! Another let-off for Town

3.36pm - Deep ball from the right goes over head of Riley and Reed is in on goal. Ball escapes him and Hedge smothers, who is angry with Reed for apparently leaving a foot in

3.34pm - Reed appears offside but the visitors' star striker's deflected effort from an acute angle is comfortable for Hedge

3.33pm - Garner corner met by head of Riley at the far post but it's just a whisker over the bar. Hartley would've had no chance with that bullet!

3.30pm - The first 30 minutes of the new season have flown by

3.29pm - Baker freekick from left wing lands in keeper's hands, who goes down after a challenge from Riley. Treatment needed for Hartley

3.28pm - Vardy and Holland, like they've shown in pre-season, are working really well together upfront, as Holland charges down a defensive clearance. Great work-rate

3.26pm - Yet another sweeping attack by Town involving Vardy, Holland, Winter and Gray but the winger can't get a decent cross in.

3.25pm - That would've been debatable. Baker tries clearing the ball on edge of area but it strikes the referee giving possession in a dangerous area to Buxton. However, the away side can't create anything. Riley back on by the way

3.24pm - Riley receiving treatment near the halfway line to facial injury.

3.23pm - Buxton, who started brightly, have a rare attack but Hunter flashes a speculative drive wide

3.22pm - Town are really turning it on now. Hardy, Winter and Gray work sublimely to create a chance but Buxton clear for a corner, which Hartley handles well

3.20pm - There were appeals that the ball had actually crossed the line! Not as clear cut as Frank Lampard's effort against Germany earlier in the Summer though!

3.19pm - What a goal that would have been! Town work the ball beautifully forward, Vardy lays it off for Winter to smash 25 yards out, but his screamer hits the underside of the crossbar and bounces away to safety

3.18pm - Town fans aren't happy. Referee believes Vardy to be dispossessed of the ball fairly on edge of area

3.16pm - Town keep attacking but Hardy's ball to Baker is too hard and ball goes behind for goalkick

3.14pm - Another chance for Town but Vardy's overhead kick flies wide

3.14pm - Holland scores on his league debut

3.13pm - Vardy does brilliantly down the left and cuts the ball back to Holland who scrambles the ball over the line. Perfect Start to Town's Evo-Stik Premier League campaign

3.13pm - GOAL FC Halifax 1 Buxton 0

3.10pm - Hardy centres a glorious ball from the right and it only needs a touch but Winter and Vardy can't force the ball home

3.09pm - Hunter swings it in but Anderson's header goes harmlessly wide of Hedge's post

3.08pm - The away side now have a free kick at the other end just outside the area. Chance for the visitors

3.07pm - Town have free kick on right hand touchline but Garner's left-footed inswinger is far too long. Goal-kick to Buxton

3.06pm - Let off for Town. Buxton corner flicked-on at near post and ball is bundled over line, but fortunately for the Shaymen the referee sees an infringement. No goal.

3.03pm - Town down the lefty hand side with Jamie Vardy and his cross is cut out for a corner. Town into the box but cleared and Winter foul

3.01pm - Holland in the box, finds Winter but shot blocked. Cross from the left is too high for Holland and Buxton survive an early chance

3.00pm - Town in their new home kit of Blue with a white stripe

3pm - This is the start of the new season, stay with us for all the updates

3pm - Buxton to kick-off.
