The home side did not have to wait much longer to go two goals to the good as Bury took far to long to clear the ball out from the back and Ryan Crisp hit Bury on the break to double the lead for Dereham. Bury had rarely troubled Dereham keeper Elliott Pride for the first half an hour but started to get more in to the half as it continued. on 32 minutes Emmanuel Machaya broke in to the box but was flattened by a solid shoulder barge. On 38 minutes Bury made the break through and pulled a goal back through Machaya who was one on one with the keeper and managed to squeeze the ball under Pride and roll the ball in to the empty net.
