REACTION: "It's the right decision" Bury boss Andy Welsh on yesterday's abandonment

Bury AFC manager Andy Welsh spoke to Roch Valley Radio after his team saw their game abandoned against Campion at half-time yesterday.

The home side took the lead on seven minutes through Nicky Boshell before an own goal from Robbie Graham drew Bury level.

A great header from Ben Wharton saw Welsh's side take the lead with ten minutes to the break.

Patrick Sykes scored with a minute remaining of the first half, and that was the last real action of the game before referee Billal Moosa ended the game within a couple of minutes of the half-time break.

Bury return to action next Monday (27th December) as they travel to Steeton, a game you can hear live on Roch Valley Radio Xtra.
