Bury Town 1 (Quantrell 59')
Bromsgrove Sporting 1 (Benbow 71')

The points were shared between Bury Town and Bromsgrove Sporting on Saturday afternoon, in what was an entertaining encounter.

Despite having a hatful of golden opportunities in the first half, it was Bury who broke the deadlock just before the hour mark, via a George Quantrell strike.

However, Sporting battled back and bagged a richly deserved equaliser with a little under 20 minutes of normal time remaining, as substitute Luke Benbow found the net from close range.

The Rouslers started the game with real intent - a great move in the fourth minute saw Billy Shaw have a shot saved well by Bury keeper Charlie Beckwith, before he also kept out the rebounded effort from the head of Jaden Charles.

More smart play from Bromsgrove resulted in Shaw narrowly missing the target in the ninth minute.

Further brilliant chances went the way of Bromsgrove as the half progressed - the 36th minute saw Tyrone Lewthwaite hit the post before Brad Stretton had a drive blocked over the bar for a corner.

Two minutes later, Lewthwaite had a header tipped wide impressively by Beckwith.

The opener came in the 59th minute, as Quantrell cut inside and found the net with a well taken right footed strike from the edge of the area.

Benbow had only been on the pitch for two minutes when he scored the leveller from off the bench - Shaw surged forward with the ball, allowing the Sporting striker to turn his defender, make space for himself inside the box and slot home with his typical accuracy.

Cemal Ramadan almost won it for Bury in the second minute of added time, but his attempt was blocked away by Charles.
