Unlike last week's report this isn’t a placeholder…but only just.

It’s more an executive summary:

• Pre-match warmup, meeting and hand gels all round.
• Nev arriving at 3.06pm signalled the start of the game.
• Tight game. We battled throughout and played well in parts.
• Bury were organised and strong especially in the middle.
• They went ahead after scoring a goal.
• We equalised with a Dave Monck sonic boom swept home from a short.
• Half-time. They had perhaps edged the first period, but not by much.
• Wise words from James, lots of other words from everyone else, off we go again.
• They went ahead again after scoring another goal.
• The extended their lead after scoring another goal.
• Rob pulled one back reacting to a save from a JJ short-corner drag.
• They scored their fourth and the game’s final goal.
• Sorry I can’t detail any of their goals, stuff in our half tends to be dull.
• We matched a decent side.
• James received a green for a committed tackle whilst on the ground.
• Josh received a green for something confusing on the far side.
• Both our greens were slightly harsh but justifiable, no complaints.
• A Bury player notched up a green card too.
• Though both sides did compete the game was really played in a nice spirit throughout.
• And actually the umpiring was solid and communications from the umpires top drawer.
• With that we have one more friendly next week against Newmarket.
• I am confident we’ll be ready for the league after that. Bring it on!
• Good luck to our Suffolk friends, see you again for another round of friendlies.
• We hope the Bury player who took a knock in the following M5s game is OK.
