Both sides played out a competitive game but goals from Cemal Ramadan and Joe Hood secured Bury Town another three points
Bury Town didn’t take long to get off the mark in this game as Cemal Ramadan had a chance to open the scoring in the first minute. A great ball down the wing from Joe Hood was collected by Cruis Nydazayo and his cross into the box found Cemal Ramadan but he hooked his shot wide of the post.
Ramadan had another similar chance after 5 minutes and this time made no mistake as a cross into the box was met by a half volley from Ramadan as he scored from close range. On 15 minutes Bury had the ball in the back of the net again thanks to a good header from Will Gardner but it was ruled no goal for offside.
A fast start from Bury but the game soon evened out with both sides competing well against each other. On 23 minutes Callum Boylan broke into the Bury box but his low powerful strike was blocked. Great Wakering were back on the attack on 35 minutes when Matthew Rose put a dangerous ball into the box but a solid clearance from Lewis O’Malley ended the move.
On 39 minutes Great Wakering pulled level after a good spell of attacking with Callum Boylan getting the equaliser and two minutes later Wakering had a great chance to go in front when Eusebio Da Silva went through on goal and with the Bury keeper out of position it fell to Joe Hood to make a vital interception from the shot of Da Silva.

On 47 minutes Bury were on the attack with Carlos Edwards lifting a ball into the box for Cruis Nydazayo but the defence managed to get the ball clear. Another good chance for Bury came on 47 minutes when Cemal Ramadan’s excellent vision and cross found Cruis Nydazayo in the box and completely unmarked but he sent his shot high over the bar.
On 51 minutes it was Great Wakering back on the attack with Matthew Rose setting up Callum Boylan but a superb save from Charlie Woods denied Boylan his second goal. Charlie Woods was needed again on 58 minutes when Kewin Kwiek found some space to hit a shot from distance and Woods made another impressive save.
On 63 minutes Cruis Nydazayo saw his headed effort from close range go just wide of the post. The chances kept coming for both sides but with the game looking to be heading for a draw Bury made one of their chances count as a long throw in from Will Gardner found its way out back out to him via Cameron Nicholls and Gardner’s ball in wasn’t cleared and Joe Hood was able to head the ball into an unguarded net.
Bury were able to see out the final 5 minutes and stoppage time to take all three points at the final whistle to make it three wins in a row and move up another place in the league to seventh.
