Bury Town put in another good shift but again take nothing to show for all their hard work as the visitors took all three points on offer at Ram Meadow
First half Bury had the better of the chances but count not make any of them count. Bury started straight on the attack with Ross Crane putting a cross in to the box, which was cleared out only as far as Ollie Snaith, but his shot was blocked on 2 minutes. Ollie Hughes rode two challenges out on the wing for Bury on 9 minutes and found Max Maughn in the box but he put his low effort just wide of the far post. On 18 minutes Cemal Ramadan got to a loose ball and was one on one with Felixstowe keeper Callum Robinson who made a good stop. On 38 minutes Cemal Ramadan put a good ball in to the box looking for Ross Crane but a vital header clear from Joe Whight sent the ball back up field. On 39 minutes Robinson was tested again this time Ollie Hughes went through on goal but Robinson made another good stop to keep Bury out. on 40 minutes another Bury attack saw Crane twisting and turning his way towards the box and putting a deep cross over to Ramadan at the back, but he was off balance and could not get any power on his strike and ended as an easy collect for Robinson. Bury were hit with a sucker punch just before the break when Billy Holland found space from a corner to put the visitors ahead.

Second half was a different story with Felixstowe taking the game to Bury. On 50 minutes Jesse Nwabueze went on a good run down the wing and deep into the box only to run the ball out of play at the last moment. A quality free kick from Stuart Ainsley hit the top of the bar for Felixstowe on 55 minutes. A minute later a half clearance from Bury led to a stunning strike from Kieran Twinn which flew in to the top corner to double the visitor’s lead. Then on 58 minutes a very soft penalty for Felixstowe was fired home from the spot by Joe Whight. Another good run down the wing from Nwabueze on 62 minutes almost set up Oliver Canfer close to goal but he could not get anything on the ball to guide the ball in to the net. A long goal kick on 73 minutes found it was through to Nwabueze who was then in on goal, but he fired his shot high over the bar. On 74 minutes a low strike from Nwabueze and a fingertip save from Bury keeper Ben Mayhew saw the ball on to the post and out for a corner. Bury grabbed a goal back on 83 minutes with Will Gardner scoring from a corner. Bury put in another good shift but for all their hard work are still lacking in front of goal and leaking goals at the back of late and Felixstowe took full advantage.
