Bury needed a lifeline in today’s clash with Sudbury—and they grabbed it with flair. The game ignited when Audrey (Dre) Mangwende intercepted a charging Sudbury defender and fired a clinical strike that slipped right between the goalkeeper’s legs, slamming onto the backboard. That moment set the tone, though the rest of the first half saw both sides trading tentative moves, leaving Bury with a slim 1-0 lead.

In the second half, Sudbury surged back, netting two quick short-corner goals to take a 2-1 advantage. But Bury wasn’t done yet. With just ten minutes remaining, a short corner sparked a dramatic turnaround: Julie (Jules) Dunger unleashed a fierce, straight shot while Hailey Wighton’s sharp deflection on the back post leveled the score at 2-2.

The final ten minutes were pure edge-of-your-seat drama, with both teams creating chances but unable to seal the win. In the end, the spoils were shared in a match that had fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
