Morris soon had to take over from Fryer again, but no one would have stopped Bury's sixth goal after 75 minutes when Leeming received a pass from Thorpe and sent it crashing into the net. Bury hit the woodwork twice more, and the game descended into near farce when Jimmy Methven went in goal to give Morris a breather.
Morris was forced to resume command following Fryer's departure, but it would have been futile to prevent Bury's sixth goal after 75 minutes. Leeming received a pass from Thorpe and scored, and Bury hit the woodwork twice more, resulting in a game that became absurd when Jimmy Methven substituted for Morris.
