....The evening began with a tanned and slim looking Nigel Jemson asking me to move a couple of traffic cones so he could drive right up to the main car park and save a bit of shoe leather. Decided to follow his example too.
The game itself...ALL NAMES AND TIMINGS ARE APPROXIMATE.
First half we began with Harphal Singh and Strong ("Strongy"!) making their debuts. Harphal showed plenty of desire and might have scored, let down by a weak finish and then blazing a good chance over. Strong showed plenty of dominance in the air and was working well alongside a comfortable Unsworth.
Eastwood rarely threatened although Garner was forced into a save from an early header.
Clegg was looking inventive on the right and created some good opportunities, with Harphal nearly connecting with one cross,and another being scrambled off the line.
Bury were generally dictating the proceedings. Harphal set Nugent up for a shot on 36 minutes , but the ball cannoned into a defender.
Nugent then featured in the breakthrough, his determined run to the line, then the ball pulled back into the path of Seddon who drove it emphatically into the bottom corner.
The scond half saw wholesale changes to the team, only Unsworth and Strong staying on. The pattern of play was similar. Bury in control but perhaps not creating as many clear chances as we should. However, Porter in particular looked dangerous and kept the Eastwood defenders busy.
Particularly impressive this half was O'Shaughnessy, both creatively and in tracking back and tackling. On 60 minutes he embarked on a tenacious run and was unlucky to see his shot whistle past the post.
There were a couple of decent calls for a penalty , one for a shove on Porter and another when Preece appeared to be kneed in the back.
From this point the Boss seemed to be getting increasingly vocal and the ref gave him an unecessary lecture. With his blood still seemingly boiling, Preece then drove a strong shot over from the edge of the box.
The Shakers should have had another when Whaley(MUNGO????) created an excellent opening but shot well wide. However, a secong goal was delivered by Charnock on 89 minutes, driving in from the 6 yard line after Whaley had a shot parried and the Manager had fed the ball back .
Another comfortable win, but perhaps we do need one final test against harder opposition before the trip to the Vetch.
MOM : Clegg 1st half , Shaughny 2nd half.
