Bury Town come from behind to take the win

Half Time: Great Wakering Rovers 1 Bury Town 0

Bury were soon on the attack second half, Ollie Fenn tested Bobby Mason on 50 minutes with a well hit strike that had Mason saving at full stretch from the top corner effort. On 56 minutes Bury had the ball in the net from Emmanuel Machaya but an odd turn of events saw the referee calling offside while the lineman had not shown a flag. The match official went over to the linesman and told him to put the flag up, which he did, and the goal was unbelievably disallowed. Bury were not to be out done and kept pressing forward. On 61 minutes Ollie Hughes got deep into the box and put a good cross in for Machaya who shot wide. On 67 minutes a spinning effort from Hughes sent the ball up in the air and heading towards the bar but Mason saw the ball out of play for the corner. A thumping free kick from Jake Chamber Shaw on 77 minutes had Mason diving to put the ball out past the post for another corner. The corner was whipped in for Hughes to head Bury level with some determined attacking of the ball. Bury had finally made the break through and were not done there. On 83 minutes Tanner Call found Hughes with a great ball and Hughes smashed the ball against the bar and Jake Chambers Shaw scored from the follow up with his head to put the Blues in front. Some late action saw Billy Johnson go close for Gt Wakering on 90 minutes with a well hit strike that had Tibbles diving to save and put the ball out past the post and with that Bury made it three wins in a row as their current good form continues.
