Bury Hit New Record Score
Bowdon 0
BGSOB 13
Fidler (5)
C. Lowe (2)
Matthews (2)
Cooke (2)
Chandler
Hillary
The Old Boys recorded their highest ever victory on Saturday as, for the second week running, they notched double figures. The score-line is somewhat deceptive as Bowdon, particularly in the second half, mounted dangerous counter attacks with good speed and skill. However the damage had been done in the first half as Bury clinically converted the majority of their chances.
The scoring was opened by Chris Lowe and by the tenth minute Bury had netted three goals, with Fidler and Matthews getting on the score sheet. This set the tone for much of the half as The Old Boys created and took numerous chances to go in at half time with a nine goal lead.
The second half saw Bowdon fight back strongly and reduce some of Bury’s attacking threat, however The Old Boys managed to find the net a further four times.
In total Fidler scored five, Chris Lowe, Dave Matthews and Matt Cooke each netted twice with Nathan Chandler and Ian Hillary rounding off the scoring. Highlights included Fiddler's first, a reverse stick effort from the edge of the circle, surrounded by three players, and still finding the bottom corner. Cooke's second from a well worked short corner and Matthews double, the first a prime example of playing to the whistle and the second an unstoppable short corner strike.
Bury will be happy with much of their build up play and clinical finishing, but now face the frustration of a two week break before their next fixture at home, a tricky tie against Lytham.
