Bury Town’s recent good form sees them make it ten games unbeaten, collecting eight wins and two draws to move themselves up into the playoff places.

Bury Town had to be patient to breakdown a determined Stowmarket Town. Bury created most of the early attacking play. On 4 minutes Ed Upson put a cross into the box which Joe White headed on for Ollie Canfer but with his back to goal he could only flick the ball wide.
On 9 minutes a Bury attack saw Luke Brown shoot low from distance which Stowmarket 'keeper De Lara-Bell got down quickly to save. Another Bury attack on 10 minutes saw Ed Upson send the ball forward for Cemal Ramadan to chase and he got into the box to shoot but another good save from De Lara-Bell kept the score level.
On 31 minutes a rare attack from Stowmarket saw Dylan Kirk work the ball forward and to the edge of the box but his shot was saved by Charlie Beckwith. Lewis O’Malley got Bury on the move again on 36 minutes sending the ball down the channel for Cemal Ramadan and Ramadan was off and running into the box but the 'keeper got the ball clear.
Bury took their time to breakdown Stowmarket but then two goals in two minutes from Cemal Ramadan got the Blues on their way. Ed Upson set up Ramadan for the first goal which the 'keeper got a hand to but not enough to stop the ball going into the bottom corner. Then two minutes later Ramadan was in the right place at the right time to fire a loose ball past the keeper to double the lead for Bury. Stowmarket had defended well first half but Bury looked very comfortable at 2-0 at half time.

After the break Stowmarket had a couple of early chances but Bury soon maintained their firm grip on the game. On 48 minutes Paul Moodie got to the edge of the Bury box but his scuffed shot looped up over the defence and safely into the arms of Charlie Beckwith.
On 50 minutes Bobby Rea whipped a good cross into the Bury box looking for Josh Buckles but Joseph Carroll made a solid header clear. Bury were back on the offensive on 56 minutes with Ollie Canfer playing a good ball forward for Cemal Ramadan to run on to and he picked up the ball, ran into the box before a quality challenge from Mo Sylla Keita won the ball back for Stowmarket.
On 67 minutes Stowmarket won a corner which found the head of Mo Sylla Keita but it lacked power and Charlie Beckwith made an easy catch. A minute later Cemal Ramadan found the back of the net again only to see the goal ruled out for offside. Bury were finding their attacking rhythm again and on 72 minutes Ed Upson put Bury three goals with a great finish. Then Lewis O’Malley headed Bury further in front on 78 minutes from an Ed Upson corner.
Stowmarket grabbed a consolation goal on 78 minutes with a deflected effort from Ewan Gordon-Clement finding is way past the Bury 'keeper. Bury had a chance to extend their lead in added time when they won a penalty on 96 minutes but a good save from De Lara-Bell denied Oliver Yun from the spot. Bury Town’s incredible run continues to ten games which moves them into the playoff places but for Stowmarket the season long wait for their first win goes on.
