Bury Town made the perfect start, Jamie McGrath finishing clinically inside the opening eight minutes to send the home crowd into raptures. For long spells it looked as though the early strike might be enough, with Spalding United struggling to find a foothold against a Bury side high in confidence and sitting well in their league. But Spalding showed the resolve of a team fighting for FA Cup progress, and Dion Sembie-Ferris struck right on the stroke of half-time to haul his side level and completely flip the complexion of the tie. The second half went by without clear chances from either side, suggesting both managers were content to regroup and perhaps eye a replay rather than risk everything chasing a winner.
How entertaining was this match?
