HARRISON BURKE was the hero as Chester made it through to the last-four of the National League North play-offs
More than 4,000 were in attendance to witness the Blues' 2-1 triumph over Buxton, which came after extra time.
And it was Burke who popped up with the 108th minute winner to secure a trip to Kidderminster Harriers on Sunday.
The Blues could not have wished for a better start at the Deva Stadium and they took the lead in just the third minute.
Declan Weeks' corner eventually found its way to Iwan Murray, who fired into the bottom corner of the net.
That advantage was destined to only last a quarter-of-an-hour, though, as Tommy Elliott grabbed Buxton's leveller.
There were chances at both ends as the half developed, with Tom Peers and Connor Woods having opportunities for the hosts.
Chances were few and far between in the second 45 minutes and so extra time was required.
Just two minutes after the restart, Dylan Mottley-Henry's effort from distance forced a good save from True Grant.
Then, after 108 minutes, Chester regained the lead. Weeks once again delivered a dangerous ball in, this time from a free kick, and the ball dropped for Burke to smash an effort into the net.
