Bury overcame a determined Burnley team to record their 5th successive victory of the season.  Bury commenced the game on the attack with Burnley,  although putting in the effort,  not really challenging Megan, Frankie or Kate in midfield.  The Bury girls fired the ball continually at the Burnley keeper who to be fair was brilliant in goals and who saved Burnley from an even bigger defeat against the visiting shakers!  It wasn’t long until Kate gave an impressive strike on the ball and fired it straight past the Burnley keeper!!!  Bury goal!!!!  0-1.
The Bury girls were again soon on the attack with the ex-claret Megan blasting the ball from 20 yards straight at the Burnley goal, however the Burnley keeper pulled out all the stops and made a phenomenal save!!!  The ball was out on the field again and at Chloe's, feet who making an impressive run on the ball, shot it right on target, brilliant Burnley save once again.  Burnley briefly got the ball but it was intercepted by Jay, passing the ball to Megan who shot it to Kate.  Kate took the ball skilfully around the Burnley defence and fired the ball into the back of the net once again!!!!  the girl was on a role!  Bury goal!!!!!   0-2.
Burnley made a run on the ball only to be quickly intercepted by Jay who was sitting strong in defence and whom prevented Eleanor from really ever being tested in goal for Bury.  It was then that Bury produced a moment of genuine quality.  Jay passed the ball to Chloe who quickly shot the ball down to Frankie.  Frankie crossed the ball over to Megan who fired the ball down the line to set Kate up in a one to one situation with the Burnley keeper.  Kate was not going to let the prospect of a hat trick pass by, and blasted the ball straight past the Burnley keeper!!!  Bury goal!!!  0-3.
Amber now on the pitch and ready for action, picked up  the ball skilfully and passed  it down the field to Kayleigh who played the ball well but couldn’t get it past the Burnley defence.  Chloe showed good skill and control of the ball, and with Burnley giving her the space she needed,  she fired it straight past the Burnley keeper.  Bury goal!!!  0-4.
Bury commenced the second half once again on the attack,  without challenge from the clarets!  Maisie and Ashley were brilliant in midfield, keeping the ball in Bury’s possession.  Erin and Maisie made the Burnley midfield work hard giving them very little time on the ball.  Beatie was now off Bury’s superstar sub bench and look determined to continue Bury’s success.  She fought hard on the ball and effortlessly got around the Burnley players, crossing the ball over to Kayleigh who fired it past the Burnley keeper!!!  Bury goal!!!  0-5.
Burnley looked determined to pull something back and with what seemed like a last ditch effort took the ball down the field towards the Bury keeper,  however with a strike that hardly challenged Eleanor, a Burnley goal was not imminent!  Erin continued to show brilliance and got past the Burnley players with ease, firing the ball down the wing to the feet of Beatie, the ball was again blasted at the Burnley goal but went wide.  with the full time whistle fast approaching,  Chloe took the ball off the Burnley players once more and fired it straight on target, with Kayleigh putting her foot on the ball to ensure the goal went past the Burnley keeper to seal the victory!!!  Bury goal!!!!  0-6.
The game came to an end.  Had the Bury girls been on usual form,  more goals would have definitely been produced.  Well done Bury - keep up the good work!

21/09/08    Bury Girls & Ladies FC            V        Inter Mill Girls FC

 

The match was unlucky for Bury but the team played well and they got the tackles in and the clearances needed.  Bury Girls just needed the team to attack and score, we pushed up the pitch and the pressure was on but the goals just didn't happen.  Mill Hill played well they got the attacks in and although Bury's defence was good they managed to score.  Bury were very unlucky, our goalie Eleanor made some excellent saves and she had a brilliant game.  We needed more support upfront to get the goals needed so we can work at this in training.
 
We had a new team member playing in the game called Amber and she fitted in very well, she got some important tackles in and had a good first game. 
 
The Bury Manager was upset that we lost the game but was happy with our performance.  We had lots of support from Mums, Dads, Grandparents etc about 20 people came to support us.
 
We are looking forward to our next game....  Come on Bury  Come on Bury!!!!!!!!

13/09/08     Manchester United Girls FC        V         Bury Girls & Ladies FC
 
The fixture list saw us drawn out to Manchester United away, which was always going to be an exciting and tough game.  The weather was perfect for football and with Manchester United's ground staff doing an excellent job on the pitch it was definitely the perfect setting for us to play football. Bury started brightly with plenty of passes and put lots of pressure on Man Utd.  Beatie controlling the midfield and taking on Man Utd at every chance in this fast paced game.  Bury looked the more likely to score in the opening 10 minutes and Katie and Jay making their debuts made it really hard for Man Utd to attack.
 
Ashlea played upfront on her own and had some good opportunities but with Man Utd's two best players playing in defence it was always going to be tough but she did really well in pushing forward.
 
Man Utd stepped up a gear and unfortunately went 1-0 up, but it didn't take long for Bury to get back in the game with some excellent tackles and clearances from Aimee we was able to break Man Utd down.
 
Ashlea picked up the ball in midfield laid it off to Beatie who was able to get the better of the United defence and with her quick feet and excellent skill was able to shoot from long distance and the ball screamed into the back of the net.
 
BBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAATTTTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE BURY GOOOOOAAALLLL MACHINE!!!!!!!!! HITS HER FIRST GOAL OF THE SEASON AND OOOOHH WHAT A BEAUTY.
 
The players went crazy, 1-1.  Both teams continued to play neat and tidy football,  both teams had chances and the football was free-flowing and highly charged.  United scored again just before half time 2-1.
 
At half time I spoke to the players about team effort and never giving up, I made a change of taking a defender off and putting on a more attacking player, to give us more options in front of goal.  I really believe that the players we have could go on and win this game.
 
The second half started off well with Bury matching Utd all the way with a couple of dodgy hand balls from United and Bury getting nothing.  Manchester Utd were given a corner which they took short and caught Bury sleeping, the ball went in the back of the net 3-1, a touch lucky for United but we need to be more focussed.  We continued to frustrate them and push forward this showed with the amount of free kicks we where given in the 2nd half.
 
Maisie took Man Utd defence on and again we were unlucky not to score.  We got a direct free kick just inside the area which Beatie took and smashed into the top corner 3-2.
 
Eleanor made some brilliant saves in this game and is getting better with every match, she kept us in this one.  In the last few minutes Man Utd scored again 4-2.  The game was entertaining and the team did us proud.
 
I would also like to thank the brilliant support we took to Manchester United.

 

 

 

 

09/03/08    Bolton Wanderers Ladies FC    V     Bury Girls & Ladies FC

 

Outstanding, Unbelievable ……… and ultimately so gut-wrenchingly heartbreaking.  How else could you sum up Bury’s best display of the season?

 

A bright start for Bury with some good passing and strong defences play unsettling the Bolton team that surprisingly beat us at home only a few weeks ago.  Bury bossed the game from the outset, soaking up any Bolton pressure.  Yet with the luck of the field, the wet soaky pitch, some how and with disbelief a Bolton attack that lacked any pressure or threat of a goal was bizarrely deflected into the roof of the net.

 

As manager I had to get the team focused and back on track, they responded brilliantly.  The football was neat and tidy; the hard work on the cold Wednesday night was starting to show.  We needed to beat the odds believe in the coaching team, do what we do in training.

 

The passing was brilliant, three; four passes neat two touch football.  All we needed was a goal.  That came with an excellent piece of team play and the ball was unleashed into the back of the net.  All the players and supporters celebrated like an FA cup winner. 

 

The team bonded, smiled, we battled, we tackled, and we scored again 1-2.  We was on a high after a few tough tackles and a few injuries the team where put under pressure.  A good save from our keeper and a missed opportunity to go 1-3 up, the last 5 minutes seemed to last for hours.  One moment of magic from Bolton and a shot like a bullet they equalised 2-2. 

 

Manager’s notes

 

The team were un-lucky not to get 3 points, we deserved to win and from this point on we should be able to climb the league.

14/10/07    Bromley Cross Girls FC V Bury Girls FC

 

This match started with Bury running the show and looked like the stars they will be. They were so unlucky not to be three or four up in the first fifteen minutes. Corner after corner shot after shot but the Bromley Cross keeper was in tune and kept all efforts out.  Bromley Cross against play went and scored and Bury with their heads still high went looking for the leveller but couldn't find it.  Against play again Bromley Cross went and scored another.  Half time Bromley Cross 2 Bury 0.    The second half started with Bromley Cross believing in themselves with a two nil lead.  Bury tried there hardest but things just wouldn't turn our way.  Bromley went on to finish the game 5- 0. A great effort by a Bury team with a result that flattered the opposition.
