Ely City 1 Bury Town 6
BURY Town notched up their fourth successive win in their pre season build up with a comprehensive victory at Ely on Tuesday evening.
Bury introduced trialist Ross Kelly into their midfield, and he looked a good prospect as Bury dominated most of the game.
They took the lead after only seven minutes when Craig Nurse stabbed home from close range following a cross from the left.
Possession was then evenly shared, but Bury posed the greater threat infront of goal.
