LEAGUE TWO

BURY’S players seem intent on returning the club to League One after relegation last season, even if off the pitch at Gigg Lane it is still a mess. The players had threatened not to play against COLCHESTER unless wages were paid on time, but an agreement was reached before Saturday’s game. Two goals from Dom Telford were enough to win and lift Bury into second place. On the continuing uncertainty off the pitch, with a winding-up order delayed until May 15, manager Ryan Lowe said: ‘It’s not good.’ MANSFIELD’S push for promotion was halted after Sam Foley’s second-half equaliser earned

NORTHAMPTON a 1-1 draw after Malvind Benning’s opener.

TRANMERE inflicted a second successive defeat on MK DONS to strengthen their place in fifth and close the gap to a point on Paul Tisdale’s side in fourth. David Perkins and Connor Jennings scored either side of Kieran Agard’s equaliser to give Micky Mellon his first win in three games.

NOTTS COUNTY, the world’s oldest professional football club, are on the brink of losing their league status after a 3-0 defeat at CREWE. They are two points off safety after

MACCLESFIELD, in 22nd, lost 2-0 at FOREST GREEN.
