Derby Joy For Bury
BGSOB 4-1 Bolton
Hillary
Fidler (2)
Cooke
The Old Boys maintined their excellent start to the season with a dominant victory over Bolton.
Bury struck first in the opening three minutes, as Ian Hillary received a short corner and found the net despite heavy defensive pressure. The Old Boys were buoyed by this excellent start and doubled their advantage with less than fifteen minutes played.
Luke Fidler continued his excellent goal scoring form as he found the net from close range, following a scramble in the circle. Bury then proceeded to dominate the remainder of the half playing some of their best hockey of the season.
Measured passing and controlled possession, coupled with intelligent running and superb work rate saw Bolton on the back foot for most of the half. When keeper Heaton was called into action, he was alert enough to turn a rising shot over the bar, as Bolton finally found a way through the home defence.
For the first fifteen minutes of the second half the game was more evenly balanced and Bolton managed to halve the deficit through a short corner of their own, this was the first goal the Old Boys have conceded all season.
However, this goal only served to galvanise Bury who soon got back into their rhythm. Following the best passing move of the match down the left wing, involving Matthews, Berry and Cooke, the ball was delivered to Fidler who netted his fourteenth goal of the season.
The scoring was finished off by Cooke who found room at the far post, and finished another move that had started down the left wing. This was a deserved reward for Cooke who had played an important role in all the Bury goals.
This was an impressive performance from The Old Boys, who remain second in the division with a game in hand, trailing by only a point. Next week sees the visit of Blackpool to Parenthorn, who are third in the table and also have a hundred per cent record.
