York City 0 : 1 Bury - Soares keeps Shakers in the mix

Bury made it six wins from seven after Tom Soares earned his team a 1-0 win at struggling York.

Soares claimed the only goal of the game in the ninth minute to keep David Flitcroft's men in the shake-up for automatic promotion.

The Shakers opened the scoring with the first attack of the match when York midfielder Brad Halliday lost possession in his own half.

Joe Riley went on to burst down the right wing and his low cross was turned in by Soares from eight yards.

York's best chance of a response before the break fell to Emile Sinclair but he miscued wide from seven yards after Michael Coulson's corner.

The visitors should have extended their lead, though, in first-half stoppage time after Keith Lowe's mistake released Nick Adams on goal but he fired wildly over.

Danny Mayor also went close to a second goal for the Lancastrians when he shot wide from 15 yards just after the restart.

York's best chance of an equaliser saw substitute Jake Hyde find the sidenetting from a narrow angle on 90 minutes.
