An entertaining game started off slowly but soon sprang in to life with Dereham taking the lead through Toby Hillard on 12 minutes.
Rhys Logan won the ball on the wing and put a good cross in to the far post and Hillard did the rest with a good finish. Bury were soon level when Ryan Jolland put a corner on for Ollie Hughes who headed on to Cemal Ramadan at the far post and he headed in the equaliser on 22 minutes. On 27 minutes Carlos Edwards played a ball into the box for Bury which found Ollie Snaith but his high ball was an easy catch for Dereham keeper Elliot Pride. On 29 minutes a well hit free kick from Dereham by Adam Hipperson was met by an outstanding save from Sam Blair. Cemal Ramadan got down the wing for Bury on 33 minutes but his cross looking for Hughes was headed clear by Robbie Linford. On 41 minutes Dereham were on the attack with Adam Hipperson winning the ball and playing a ball in to David Hinton who hit a powerful strike and Sam Blair made another superb save. On 44 minutes Bury won a corner and Ryan Jolland put a good ball into the box which Ollie Fenn headed just over the bar. In injury time Hughes played in Ross Crane in the box and his thumping shot was blocked bravely by Dion Frary who got his body in the way of the strike.

Second half Bury continues to take the game to Dereham. On 52 minutes Rhys Logan got down the wing and put a cross in to the box which was just too long for the diving header attempt by Dion Frary. Bury were on the attack on 54 minutes with Cemal Ramadan winning the ball out wide and his cross in to the box was headed just over the bar by Ollie Hughes. On 60 minutes Bury won a free kick which was hit to the far post by Ross Crane but Elliot Pride made a good save to send the ball out of play. Bury took a deserved lead on 61 minutes when Ross Crane put a corner in to Ryan Jolland who set up Ramadan who grabbed his and Bury’s second goal. On 71 minutes Dereham went on the attack in numbers and Shaun Bammant pulled Dereham level with a good strike. Bury were not to be out done and in a dramatic end to the game ross Crane set up Ryan Jolland who grabbed the winner on 85 minutes before he picked up his second yellow card for overly celebrating his goal in front of the away dugout and was sent off. One minute later Dereham were down to ten men too when Adam Hipperson followed Jolland off the pitch when he was shown a straight red card. A feisty game at times but very entertaining as Bury secured the win and all three points.
