Bury Town v Brentwood Town
Isthmian League North Division
12th August 2023
15:00 Kick-Off
The Blues will kick off their 2023/24 League season with a trip to familiar territory in Bury Town.
Last Time Out
Back in February 2023 The Blue’s made it seven games unbeaten with a Tuesday night 2-0 win on Suffolk soil.
The good run of form had seen three wins and four draws with just three goals conceded, and this latest result lifted Blues above Bury in the table and into the top half of the Isthmian North league.
Both teams had chances in an evenly balanced match before Solomon Ogunwomoju put Brentwood Town 1-0 up and Flavio Jumo was able to break away on his own in the 6th minute of injury time to outpaced the Bury defence and coolly rounded the goalkeeper to make it 2-0 .
