Bury Town
Gorleston made the perfect start through Joe Marsden but were undone by a devastating 14-minute spell either side of the half-hour mark, as Seth Chambers' double and a Thomas Hughes strike turned 1-0 down into 3-1 up for Bury Town by the 37th minute. Gorleston, despite dominating the shot count 17-9 and having more efforts on target, couldn't convert their attacking pressure into a full comeback until a grandstand finish - pulling level at 3-3 through goals either side of the 70 and 76-minute marks. But Bury Town had the last word, with Ryan Jolland restoring the lead at 80' to complete a chaotic seven-goal thriller. For Gorleston, the result ends their cup run despite a spirited response and a stat sheet that suggested a more even contest than the scoreline reflects; for Bury Town, it's a gutsy, resilient win that will have tested their nerve as much as their quality.
