However, Oldham could only muster together five players and so the game changed from becoming a challenge to a game of raising confidence and team chemistry.

The game was never in doubt although a 21 to 12 third quarter advantage to Oldham gave Bury something to think about.

Bury ran away winners 92 to 68 and the win helped them to maintain a playoff spot.  With two home games against Penwortham and Oxford and two fixtures needing to be arranged against MBC, Bury are hopeful that a playoff spot is in easy grasp...although nothing has been easy this season. 

Ste Graham and Alan Hall led scorers with 20 and 15 points.
