Bury had to come from behind twice against a lively Bromsgrove side
The hosts started the game on the attack and Bury had to defend well to keep them out. On 5 minutes Gustavo Sanches found the space to shoot from the edge of the Bury box and Charlie Beckwith made a good stop. On 10 minutes Bury won a corner which Mikey Davis put to the far post for Taylor Parr but the ball did not fall quick enough for Parr, and the defence got the ball clear. On 12 minutes Charlie Pavey took a chance to shoot from distance with power which went just wide of the top far corner. Bury had a good chance on 14 minutes when Mikey Davis shot from distance which was blocked and the loose ball found Harley Curtis whose shot was saved well by Adam Harrison. A swift attack from Bromsgrove on 29 minutes saw James Sanderson break into the Bury box and his shot was saved by Charlie Beckwith. Then on 34 minutes Bromsgrove took the lead when Gustavo Sanches put a good cross into the box and Billy Shaw bundled the ball over the line. Bury thought they had cleared the ball before it crossed the line, but the Referee gave the goal. Bury pulled level on 37 minutes when a great ball to the far post from Cemal Ramadan gave Harley Curtis a tap in. On 43 minutes Bromsgrove had a shout for a penalty when Gustavo Sanches and Taylor Parr both went to ground in the box after challenging for the ball but play on was the decision from the officials.

Second half Bromsgrove regained the lead early on when a superb forward ball from James Sanderson set up Charlie Pavey who was clean through on goal and his early strike from distance found the back of the net. Bury showed great fighting spirit and never gave up as they kept pressing forward. On 49 minutes George Quantrell went on a good forward run, got into the box but his shot lacked enough power to trouble the keeper. On 60 minutes Joe Carroll put an inviting cross into the box, but the defence headed clear. On 66 minutes Joe Carroll put another good ball into the box which was headed behind for a goal kick. On 67 minutes George Quantrell made another good run into the box but some good cover play from Ash Carter saw Bromsgrove win the ball back. On 69 minutes Joe Carroll sent a good ball into the box which Tommy Hughes fired over the bar. Then Bury got their reward for all their hard work and determination when on 83 minutes Tommy Hughes fired a powerful strike from the edge of the box which hit the post and Cemal Ramadan was perfectly placed to slotted home the rebound. On 89 minutes Brad Stretton got forward for Bromsgrove and his shot from distance went just over the bar. A late spell of pressure from Bromsgrove was dealt with well by Bury and at the final whistle Bury Town has secured a well-deserved point in what was a very entertaining game.
