Late flurry of goals as Maldon & Tiptree take the points

Late goals seals the win for Maldon & Tiptree

Three late goals put this game Beyond Bury after an evenly contested first half. Jake Chambers Shaw had a chance for Bury on 4 minutes, breaking in to the box but his shot was blocked by the defence. Maldon & Tiptree had a lot of the ball early in the half and on 15 minutes Decarrey Sheriff broke quickly and got in to the Bury box only to shoot wide. on 17 minutes some good link up play from Bury saw Ollie Hughes and Tanner Call create a good chance for the Blues but Hughes shot wide. Bury had a free kick on 21 minutes which Kyran Clements headed just over the bar. On 28 minutes Sammie McLeod headed wide of the far post for Maldon after a quick attack from the visitors. On 38 minutes a powerful strike from Chambers Shaw stung the hands of Maldon keeper Ben McNamara as he made a solid save to keep Bury out. Just before the break Ollie Hughes went on a run down the wing and into the box and hit a low shot which McNamara did well to get down to collect the ball.

Bury kept the pressure up and on 60 minutes another good attacking move saw Hughes hit the bar. on 69 minutes Bury were level. A cross in to the box was smashed home by Hughes from inside the box giving the keeper no chance as the ball flew past him.

A sweet strike from McLeod on 80 minutes put Maldon further in front, hitting his strike in to the top corner beyond the hand of Tibbles. On 88 minutes Hughes went close for Bury hitting a shot an inch away from the far post.
