An 85th minute equaliser from Tom Pinyoun maintains the young Blues' unbeaten league record after 3 matches against a strong Haverhill Rovers side.


Bury Town Under-18's maintain their unbeaten record following an evenly matched home draw with Haverhill Rovers. 

The chances flowed throughout between the two sides, with the home side having the first notable chance in the third minute, as Tom Pinyoun's low cross into the six yard box needed clearing behind for a corner at the near post. 

Up the other end though, Bury goalkeeper Joe Wilson was forced into action, diving down to his right-hand side to palm Smalls' low shot in space from a corner behind for another set-piece a minute later. 

A great save however from Rovers goalkeeper Charlie Bell denied Angus Mills from breaking the deadlock on 15 minutes, as the forward was threaded the defence haring through into the penalty area looking to poke the ball past the onrushing shot-stopper and into the net only to see it well smothered by the keeper, who'd narrowed the angle down well. 

Clinton Frank meanwhile curled a strike narrowly over the top right hand corner from just outside the box on 19 minutes, before the latter fed Ben Haddoch in acres of space from 30-yards out, though the latter fired his low strike narrowly wide of the bottom left-hand corner, two minutes later. 

The visitors though went just as close to the opening goal of the night on 22 minutes as Stone headed just wide of the post from a dangerous cross. 

Bury however had huge appeals for a penalty waved away for a challenge on Mills, whilst Stone's low left wing strike was well saved Wilson on his goal-line on 24 minutes. 

Seconds later though, great defending from Elliott Lacey denied Stone a free shot at goal, recovering well to dispossess the striker in a shooting position. 

Great play from the Blues meanwhile was thwarted by some more good goalkeeping on 32 minutes, as Bell was alert to rush off his line and intercept Mills' threaded ball through the defence towards Pinyoun. Angus Mills then went an inch away from putting the hosts in front of 34 minutes, directing his free header from Zane Robinson's dangerous right wing free-kick just wide of the near post from 10-yards. 

Eight minutes later, Rovers went close to opening the scoring as they flashed a dangerous strike across the face of goal from the byline just wide for a goal-kick. 

A minute before the interval however, Jack Turner went just as close, after being fed through onto the edge of the box, the striker fired his shot just wide of the bottom left-hand corner, signalling the end of an entertaining goalless opening 45 minutes. 

But the deadlock was broken three minutes into the second half, as a Rovers swift counter attack saw Stone break into the Bury penalty area before finishing cooly low past Wilson and into the bottom middle part of the net, 0-1 Rovers. 

Bury responded quickly, albeit not leading to the equaliser they would have craved as Angus Mills hares through free down the right-hand side in the box only to see his dangerous ball across the face of goal flash just an inch wide of the bottom far corner, with nobody in Blue able to capitalise. 

Down the other end, Rovers looked to pounce on a dangerous turnover of possession, 25-yards outside the Bury penalty area, only to be thwarted well by Wilson who was equal to the half volley towards his bottom left-hand corner on 53 minutes, whilst Rovers' Sykes then curled a fierce 25-yard free-kick an inch wide of the same corner 4 minutes later. 

The major chances then became more difficult to come by as time ticked down, with ten minutes separating that Sykes' free-kick and Angus Mills firing his shot just over from 30-yards out. 

A great save from Wilson then denied Rovers what would've been a crucial second goal with 20 minutes to go, reacting quickly to deny Brooks' low ferocious low strike from inside the box with his legs, whilst the away side fired just wide off the bottom corner moments later. 

Bury though grabbed a deserved late equaliser with a great finish from Tom Pinyoun five minutes from time. Ben Haddoch's right wing free-kick fell to Pinyoun inside the box, who then arrowed a ferocious thunderbolt strike home into the top left-hand corner, 1-1.

Although the draw was by far the fairest result, both sides had a chance each to snatch all three points late on. 

Just after conceding, Rovers forced a good save from Wilson a minute later, forcing the goalkeeper to shovel a good shot behind for a corner, which the visitors then headed narrowly over. 

Then just as the game entered stoppage time a strong catch from Bell at his top right-hand corner denied Bury a last minute winner, after Clinton Frank's dangerous cutback found Angus Mills in space inside the box, who then looked to replicate Pinyoun's equalising shot to a 'T'.

Both sides though had to settle for a well earned point each as Bury have a week break until they welcome Lakenheath on Monday 6th September.
