After losing their first league game of the season Bury Town bounced back in the best possible way, with another win
A strong start to the game from Bury saw them have more of the ball early on. On 12 minutes Shaun Avis found space in the box but his shot was blocked by Jamie Bennett. On 17 minutes Charlie Johnson hit a low shot with power that pulled a brave save from Akan George. Bury’s next attack saw Cemal Ramadan make space for himself in the box, but he shot wide. Bury took the lead on 20 minutes when Carlos Edwards broke into the box and from a very tight angle slotted the ball between the keeper and the near post to put Bury in front. On 24 minutes Joe Hood tried his luck from distance with a well hit strike but saw his effort hit the far post. Coggeshall put a long high ball into the box on 29 minutes when Josh Hughes tried to find Junior Nkwonka but some confident goalkeeping saw Lewis Ridd climb up to make the catch. Bury continued to press forward and on 31 minutes made their second breakthrough. A powerful strike on goal from outside the box from Charlie Johnson was saved by Akan George but the loose ball fell to Cemal Ramadan who was in the right place at the right time to scored from close range. On 39 minutes Nathan Fuma hit a pacy strike for Coggeshall from distance but a superb block from Joe Hood saw the ball out of harms way. A very positive half from Bury saw them take a good lead into the break.

Second half Coggeshall played more of a direct game and it started to work well midway through the half as they saw more of the attacking action. On 55 minutes Coggeshall had the ball in the back of the net only to be ruled out for offside but the warning signs were there for Bury as Coggeshall found more and more attacking options. On 66 minutes a good attack from Coggeshall saw Jake Gordon shoot from close range but Lewis Ridd made a superb save. A minute later Coggeshall were back on the attack when Junior Nkwonka broke through the defence but quick reactions from Lewis Ridd saw the Bury keeper made another impressive save. Cruise Nydazayo went on a run in to the box for Bury on 71 minutes and did well to work the ball into a shooting chance, but Akan George made a good save at the near post. Jake Gordon had another great chance to score for Coggeshall on 77 minutes but another important save from Lewis Ridd denied Gordon his goal. Coggeshall continued to get the ball forward at every opportunity and they made it count when Fredrick King made the most of a high ball into the box to pull a goal back for Coggeshall on 80 minutes. A very strong finish to the game from Coggeshall as they went in search of an equaliser but Bury stood firm at the back to take another three points at the final whistle.
