The Bury Town defence remained solid but going forward it was another disappointing performance for the Blues
A lively start from Bury saw Cemal Ramadan shoot from outside the box in the first minutes which went just over the bar. Karl Kayembe had a chance for Coggeshall on 12 minutes but blasted his chance over the bar. On 16 minutes a low shot from distance from Coggeshall by Josh Osude made its way towards the far post before Joe White cleared the ball out of the box. Two minutes later a cross into the Bury box found Karl Kayembe but his shot was blocked by Joe White. On 27 minutes Bury broke forward with Cemal Ramadan and Ryan Jolland linking up out wide and Jolland’s ball into the box looking for Charley Barker was easily cleared by the Coggeshall defence. On 36 minutes another chance for Coggeshall saw Toby Adekunle go on a driving run down the wing and put a cross into Ben Search who shot wide of the post. Bury won a free kick on 42 minutes which Joe Hood played into the box but far to close to Coggeshall keeper Thomas Middlehurst who made the catch. In injury time Ollie Hughes tried to get Bury going with a driving run forward but as soon as he entered the box Jamie Riley made the challenge and won the ball to send it out for a corner. A quick start to the half from Bury but it did not last long as it was Coggeshall who had most of the better chances going forward.

Coggeshall started the second half on the attack, but the game soon turned in to a drab affair with Coggeshall deciding early on they would be happy with a point and Bury lacking creativity in attack. On 46 minutes Josh Osude broke forward and got into the Bury box but a poor strike saw the ball go way wide of the target. On 58 minutes Coggeshall won a corner which was played to the far side of the box for Josh Osude but he blasted his shot into a wall of players and the chance was gone. On 61 minutes Josh Osude again powered into the Bury box but ran into the Bury defence who got the ball clear. A long high ball into the Coggeshall box on 63 minutes found Cemal Ramadan out wide but his shot from a tight angle was blocked. Cruis Nydazayo came off the bench for Bury on 67 minutes hoping to find something for Bury going forward but all he found was a straight red card four minutes later for a reckless challenge. on 76 minutes Coggeshall went on the attack with Toby Adekunle advancing forward and a short pass found Nathan Fuma on the edge of the box but his shot was way off the mark as it sailed wide. Another goalless draw at the final whistle as teams are finding it hard to score against Bury but on the flipside Bury are finding it hard to score themselves.
