Bury 0-1 Lancaster City: Match Report

Bury were left to wonder what might have been after spurning a hatful of chances only to fall to a 1-0 defeat at home to Lancaster City.


There were three changes in the Bury lineup as Connor Pye, Luca Navarro and Mo Touray all made starts. Anthony Dudley was named on the bench for the first time after recovering from an injury in preseason.


Kai Evans gave the Shakers a positive start with an early shot from the right forcing a save from keeper Brad Kelly while an Evans cross took a deflection that saw the ball pass just behind oncoming Bury attackers.


It was the visitors however who got the early goal. Steven Yawson allowed the push forward on a long mazy run, eluded the defence, rounded keeper Mitch Allen and finished into the back of the net for a great goal.


The hosts looked to find a way back into the match. Luca Navarro sent over a cross that Dolly Blues keeper Kelly had to hook away for a corner. Bury found that they could get into the Lancaster box but were crowded out when they arrived and were never offered a clear sight of goal.


Mo Touray had the best chance of the first half. Starting the counterattack Touray laid the ball off to Navarro and then to Connor Pye. A cross into the box fell to Touray who saw his first shot blocked, then his second effort hit the post and land perfectly into the arms of the previously stranded Kelly.


Touray then tried a turn as provider laying the ball off to George Glendon who fired a low stinging shot that the busy Kelly did well to tip away. Just before the break a Kai Evans cross found DJ Pedro who saw his header pass over the crossbar.


After the break there was more close calls for the home side as Connor Pye played in Pedro. Despite being closely marked by two defenders the Bury striker managed to fire off a shot that beat Kelly but rattled the woodwork where the post and crossbar met.


Lancaster nearly doubled Bury’s problems with another counter attack. This time Mitch Allen did well to save a close range effort with his legs. Lancaster City didn’t look close to scoring another after that but the one goal advantage didn’t produce anxiety for the away side, only frustration for the hosts.


Owen Robinson was brought on and so nearly levelled the tie, played in by Touray, who had seen his own long range shot saved, Robinson shot towards the bottom corner from the edge of the box only to see it just creep wide.


Attacking options on the bench in Anthony Dudley, Tom Carr and Jes Uchegbulam were brought on but despite the numbers no one could unlock the Dolly Blue defence. Corners and set pieces never found a man a white. Defender James Neild tried his luck from the edge of the box but couldn’t find enough power behind his shot while Jes Uchegbulam had a chance from a tight angle saved by Kelly.


Most crushing of all DJ Pedro tried a shot from 25 yards and hit the post again, the third time the frame of the goal had denied the Shakers who did everything but score in this match and paid the price for it.


The referee’s whistle ended a disappointing evening for Bury. A lack of ruthlessness in front of goal cost dearly for the Shakers who have lost back to back midweek matches.

Match Info: Lancaster City (H), Tue 25th August, 7:45pm KO

After snatching a late winner at Gainsborough last weekend, The Shakers return to Gigg Lane under the lights this Tuesday. 

Our opponents come in the form of a struggling Lancaster City side, who sit 18th after collecting four points from their opening five games.

Antony Johnson’s side will be hoping to climb further up the table, currently sitting in 7th, only three points behind league leaders Cleethorpes Town.
In Opposition – Lancaster City

Founded in 1911, Lancaster Town FC saw glory in the 1930’s winning back to back combination league titles.

They adopted their current name in 1937 after the town was awarded City status in King George VIs coronation celebrations.

In 1995, Lancaster won the Northern Premier League Presidents Cup under the management of former Bury player Alan Tinsley.

The club’s nickname, The Dolly Blues, hails from the dolly blue washing tablets and bags manufactured there in the early 20th century, with the club wearing the same colours.

Gainsborough Trinity 1-0 Bury: Match Report

Bailey Sloane was the hero scoring a late winner for Bury in a 1-0 victory at Gainsborough Trinity. In a match that often felt lethargic and lacking in quality a moment of magic at either end from the Shakers’ young centre back ensured a happy ending for the travelling Bury faithful.


Manager Anthony Johnson named an unchanged starting eleven and bench as the Shakers looked to make amends for their defeat in midweek. Jonno however was forced to make a change almost immediately when Rustam Stepans went down injured after only a couple of minutes and was replaced by James Melhado.


In contrast to the lighting quick start to their last match Bury struggled to put the hosts under much pressure. While they could win the ball and keep possession it was not translating into chances.


If there was to be a Bury goal Kai Evans would be at the heart of it, he put his marker on his heels often but couldn’t find the finishing touch. One shot by Evans was fumbled by Trinity keeper David Robson who had to scoop the loose ball off the line. Tom Carr following up fell over the keeper but any optimistic penalty appeals were waved away.


As halftime approached the home side grew into the match sending a few set pieces into the Bury box but goalkeeper Mitch Allen didn’t face a meaningful shot as both sides drew a blank.


After the break Bury seemed to have more attacking intent. Evans again the creator cut inside from the left and shot on goal. A defender blocked the shot with what the referee judged to be his flank, not his arm as Bury fans behind the goal claimed.


Evans again on the charge managed to get in behind the defence and from a tight angle forced a shot Robson could only parry. Tom Carr following up on the rebound was denied a goal by a header off the line by a Gainsborough defender.


Turning to the bench Mo Touray and Luca Navarro were introduced and nearly made an instant impact, Carr’s throughball reached Navarro but his shot was blocked out for a corner.


As the match entered its closing stages the hosts had a couple of great chances to snatch all three points. Connor Brown finding himself one on one with Allen placed his shot wide of goal though the offside flag would have ruled it out anyway.


Javelle Clarke got closer still only minutes later presented with the same one on one chance. He beat Mitch Allen with the shot but while some home fans were already celebrating Bailey Sloane raced back and managed to hook the ball away from goal off the line.


In the 89th minute Bury won another corner. Their set pieces had been underwhelming all day but Leo Graham sent over a fine effort and at the back post in a crowded box Bailey Sloane rose highest to win it at the death.
