RELIEVED Bury St Edmunds ended a run of seven defeats by grinding out a win against an emerging opponent.

Cooper stars as Bury end poor run

But their visitors will perhaps not be satisfied with just one point on this visit to West Suffolk and will take a close look at some system failures.

Bury showed their running intent early on, with captain Bursey running a quickly-taken penalty.

They sought to play their trademark expansive style and Park used their large powerful forwards to bludgeon their way through the Wolf defence.

It was Bury who opened the scoring through star man Ben Cooper. A line-out deep in the Park 22 went off the top, and Cooper sprinted over from five metres, but the conversion was missed.

As Park sought to gain some momentum, Bury succumbed to their obligatory yellow card, but the visitors couldn’t make the numerical advantage count.
