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.

The Shakers currently sit seventh in the table, leapfrogged by Guiseley in our first defeat of the season, while our opponents beat Stockton Town 4-1 midweek to climb to third in the table.
Bury will be buoyed by DJ Pedro’s excellent start to the season, and will hope he can continue his form in Lincolnshire this Saturday after having his red card overturned.

Bury fans who arrived late crossing the Pennines would have missed a brilliant opening few minutes of the match. Bursting through the middle DJ Pedro outpaced the last defender to a loose ball and slotted past the keeper Jack Hall to give Bury the lead in the third minute.
Soon after the restart Pedro blocked a clearance allowing Bury to win the ball again, Rustam Stepans’ shot had to be palmed away by Hall. The Shakers soon got a second goal as Kai Evans shrugged off his marker before placing a shot to the same bottom corner to give Bury a 2-0 lead on seven minutes.
The hosts quickly changed shape and did well to stifle Evans play. The direct counterattacking style suited the Lions and soon they were creating chances themselves
From one corner kick Mitch Allen had to dive on the ball following a scramble while the Bury defence had another warning shot from a corner as a free header was placed wide of the mark.
Bury were not passing well or able to keep the ball away from Guiseley for long. The pressure told and when one long range effort hit the crossbar Aaron Martin was on hand to score on the rebound. Bury’s protests for offside fell on deaf ears.
Guiseley soon claimed an equaliser, Martin again finishing off a swift counterattack with huge gaps in the Shakers defence laid bare.
Faced with having to regain the lead all over again Bury found the Guiseley defence much tougher to break down, Pedro went closest with a looping header that landed on the roof of the net.
After the break chances were more scarce for both sides. Owen Robinson came closest for Bury with one shot from outside the box having to be pushed away by Guiseley keeper Hall and another long range effort crashing off the woodwork after good build up play by new arrival Jes Uchegbulam.
The match seemed headed for a stalemate before on the 90th minute Guiseley won a free kick in a dangerous area and in a packed box Guiseley substitute Jordan Thewlis got the meaningful touch to beat Mitch Allen and earn all three points for his side.
