Callum Page added a second goal for Bury two minutes later with a superb curling ball past the keeper and into the far corner. Ally Conway set up Seth Chambers for his second goal on 27 minutes with a good cross into the box and Chambers rolled the ball into the back of the net. On 31 minutes Mildenhall went on the attack with Cameron Hynes putting a good cross into the box for Marley Delgado but he took too long to make the shot and the Bury defence was on him to win the ball back. On 34 minutes Joe Greenslade Cross saw an opportunity to shoot from distance for Mildenhall, and he put his effort just wide of the far post. Ryan Jolland sent a corner into the box for Bury on 37 minutes and Lewis O’Malley headed just wide of the far post. Seth Chambers had a golden opportunity to claim his hat trick on 39 minutes when he picked up the ball in the box, went past the keeper and with the open goal beckoning he hit the post. Seth Chambers had another chance in added time when he went one on one with the keeper and Ryan Dunne made a good stop with his foot. A dominant half from Bury saw them take a three-goal lead into the break.

Second half Seth Chambers turned provider early on as he set up George Quantrell to score from close range with a tap in on 48 minutes. On 51 minutes a cross into the box from Bury dropped in front of Seth Chambers close to goal but he could not get anything on the ball to divert it goalward. Ethan Mayhew put a good ball across the face of the Mildenhall goal a minute later, but no one was close enough for Bury to take on the chance. On 59 minutes Callum Page put a cross into the box which landed the wrong side of Ollie Canfer who was waiting to pounce. Seth Chambers drove forward for Bury on 62 minutes and went deep into box and his shot from a tight angle was cleared from the near post by Tom Debenham. On 68 minutes Ryan Jolland sent a corner into the box and Ethan Mayhew lifted his header over the bar from close range. Seth Chambers got the ball into the box on 71 minutes and laid the ball out to Callum Page who hit a well driven strike just over the bar. Tayos Flowers set up Seth Chambers to shoot on 78 minutes, and Ryan Dunne made a fine save. Ethan Mayhew added a fifth goal for Bury on 84 minutes when he headed home from a corner. Bury added a sixth goal on 89 minutes when a ball into the box caused a scramble for the ball and George Quantrell picked up the loose ball and found the back of the net to finish off a comfortable win for Bury Town. The big win is just what Bury needed to lift their spirits after a disappointing performance against Hitchin Town last time out. Next up for Bury is another home tie against Banbury United in the league on Saturday and they will be looking to push on and keep the feel-good factor going.
