Trophy is tie abandoned after 45 minutes due to rain

This afternoon's Isuzu FA Trophy Second Round Qualifying tie against Bury was abandoned without play being restarted for the second half.

Persistent rain had turned into a deluge towards half-time, causing the pitch to become waterlogged.

Scores had been level at 1-1 after a very even first 45 minutes. Scott Bakkor put Linnets ahead in the seventh minute from a defence-splitting pass by Eden Gumbs,

Ten minutes later, home 'keeper Harvey Bardsley reacted well to keep out a Tyler James shot but had no chance with a rebound header from Djavan Pedro.

Details of the rearranged tie will be announced once finalised.
