Ryman North: Bury Town 4 Redbridge 1

Three goals in the final five minutes cost Redbridge any hope of taking something from their long trip to Bury Town as they lost 4-1.

Dave Ross had said before the game that the Motormen would struggle to name a matchday 16 owing to work commitments and it showed with fellow joint-manager Ricky Eaton picked as one of just two substitutes.

Despite their squad troubles, the visitors took the lead at Ram Meadown when Charlie Portway added to his weekend brace in the eighth minute.

But Redbridge relinquished their advantage nine minutes before half time when Ollie Hughes netted for the hosts as the two sides went in level.

The visitors were dealt a blow in the 65th minute when Charlie Parish was given his marching orders before Eaton was brought on to replace Portway four minutes later.

But the score remained level until the 87th minute when, with the Motormen looking on course for a crucial point, the Blues struck from the penalty spot with Josh Mayhew converting.

The visitors pressed hard for an equaliser, but their hopes of a draw were further dashed in the final minute of normal time when Nick Ingram extended Bury’s lead.

Redbridge conceded a fourth in time added on when Mayhew added a second to cap a come-from-behind win for Bury.

The result leaves the Motormen in 22nd place in the Ryman North, two points adrift of safety.
