Bury 0-1 Gillingham

Published: Saturday, 8 November 2008, 12:00AM

Andy Barcham struck the decisive goal to send Gillingham into the second round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 win at Bury.

Barcham, on loan from Tottenham, scored with a low header in the 73rd minute to give the visitors a barely-deserved victory.

Bury were the brighter throughout and could have gone in front in the second minute when Andy Morrell had a powerful left-foot shot deflected wide.

Andy Bishop twice went close for Bury. The striker had one shot well-saved by Alan Julian, before he fired another high and wide.

Bishop also had a penalty appeal turned down in the second half, and Morrell squandered a point-blank chance from a corner.

Gillingham midfielder Curtis Weston hit a curling free-kick straight at Wayne Brown, before eventually turning provider for Barcham to head home.
