Division 5NE

Bury St Edmunds IV 1 Cranes II 2

A CRACKING encounter culminated in Cranes pulling off a surprise away win on Saturday against a skilful Bury team. Bury had the best of the opening exchanges and deservedly scored after a misunderstanding in the Crane circle.

Crane responded with a double substitution and were soon on top due to superior midfield passing. They fortuitously equalized through Andi McManus with a controversial goal from a free hit outside the circle that appeared to be deflected in via a defenders stick.

Nonetheless, the goal stood and the second half was end-to-end stuff with both sides close to scoring. Crane scored the decisive goal through the tireless Eric Davy but there was further drama when Bury had a late goal disallowed.
