THE Shakers' end of season party at Gigg Lane never quite lived up to its billing.
Bury had to work hard on an afternoon which seemed destined to be one of those days when the ball won't go into the net.
The visitors had taken a first half lead through Darren Caskey, and it took a last minute "goal of the season" from player manager Andy Preece to finally earn a point.
But there is much to admire in this youthful Bury line up and man of the match Martyn Forrest showed how influential he is likely to be next term. But Preeces' men have shown a spirit exemplified by the number of last minute goals scored in recent games, and the 25-yard deft lob from the popular manager to level the score in the dying moments was just the tonic to spark an after match ovation for the young boss and his younger charges.
