High-flying Bury Town clinch the points at Racing Club Warwick

A first half equaliser from Rhys Hilton had cancelled out Jamie McGrath's early opener, but a second goal from McGrath midway through the second half, followed by a stoppage-time strike from Callum Page, secured all three points for the visitors, who sit second in the table.

Bury Town made the perfect start, taking the lead after just three minutes.

Some good work down the right-hand side saw the visitors get in behind the Warwick defence before a low ball was cut back across goal, leaving Jamie McGrath with a simple finish to open the scoring.

Despite the early setback, Warwick responded positively and in the eighth minute, Jude Collins drove forward down the left before drilling a dangerous ball across the face of goal, but the delivery had just too much pace on it for the outstretched foot of Aaron Opoku.

Just two minutes later, Opoku was played through on goal and came close to restoring parity, but his effort sailed narrowly over the crossbar.

Warwick continued to grow into the contest and their persistence was rewarded in the 35th minute when Hilton brought the hosts level.

A defensive mistake from the visitors saw a clearance sliced high over the defender's own head, allowing Hilton to pounce inside the penalty area.

His initial effort was saved by Charlie Beckwith, but the Warwick winger reacted quickest to turn home the rebound.

Warwick emerged strongly after the restart and almost took the lead within the opening minutes of the second half. Collins found himself in space out wide, taking a touch before firing an effort narrowly wide of the post.

The hosts continued to apply pressure and created another excellent opportunity in the 52nd minute.

Miro Pais did well to fashion an opening before seeing his shot parried away by Beckwith.

The rebound fell to Hilton, but his follow-up effort took a deflection and went wide.

Collins was next to threaten as Warwick continued their search for a second goal, finding himself in a promising position around the hour mark before sending his effort just over the crossbar.

Another golden opportunity followed when Hilton produced some excellent work down the flank before cutting the ball back into the path of Adam Walker.

His goalbound effort looked destined for the net, only for a Bury defender to produce a crucial block on the line.

However, despite Warwick enjoying the better of the opportunities, it was the visitors who regained the lead in the 68th minute.

A dangerous ball was driven across the face of the Warwick goal, with McGrath credited with the final touch as the ball found its way into the net to restore Bury's advantage.

Warwick almost produced an immediate response when Collins again caused problems for the visiting defence, drilling a dangerous delivery across the six-yard box, but Opoku was unable to convert from close range.

As the game entered its closing stages, Warwick continued to push forward in search of an equaliser, with the visitors defending their narrow advantage.

However, with the Racers committing players forward, Bury took advantage of the space left behind in stoppage time.

A counter-attack in the 92nd minute saw substitute Callum Page find the net to seal a 3–1 victory for the visitors.

It was a frustrating afternoon for Warwick, who had created more than enough opportunities to take something from the contest, but were ultimately punished by a clinical Bury Town side.
